So nobody has any idea what happened, other than one of the offocers mistakenly called out that the &quot;suspect&quot; had a gun, and the other fired.<p>I can understand why the other officer fired; she believed that the guy who was, at the time, charging at her had a gun and presumably was gonna use it. When confronted with deadly force, deadly force is authorized, so that officers don&#x27;t get killed trying to non-lethally take down a murderous criminal.<p>The problem is that this guy was neither murderous nor a criminal. The officer who called out that the perp had a gun was wrong, and a man is dead because of it.<p>Of course, the cop who held the gun will be slammed for this. But the cop who called the invisible gun will be left alone.
