Thread title needs changing. The innocent victim was not sacrificed. I await further information. The officer's name will be released at some point.
I agree. Unless specific information develops to the contrary, I believe that the officers were trying to help the victim (who chose to rely on them rather than on armed and trained family, friends, and herself) when she fell victim to a poorly-placed shot.
It doesn't always happen like on TV, where the cop puts a single shot between the eyes of the BG, so that he drops like so much dirty laundry to the ground, leaving the helpless victim in a state of bewildered relief. The key is not to place oneself in the situation where that one incredible shot is necessary.
