As a former cop, you should know that isn't uncommon.
Most of the guys don't even know how many rounds they fire. They usually say 2-3 rounds and it turns out to be at least twice that many.
Ever since the switch over to high-cap magazines, this has become increasingly more common--especially when you are running on adrenaline.
In the old days, they would empty their chamber firing all six rounds--not smart--but many do. Now, with 15 and 16 round magazines, a lot of these guys keep firing until they hear "click". The only problem I have is that after the first round, their accuracy goes in the toilet. I'd didn't catch it, but I would bet the kid got hit one or two times out of the ten rounds fired.
Now that I am typing this, I am kinda changing my opinion. Control isn't taught like it used to be in the old days of the acadamy. It sounds like these guys need to train more at "Hogan's Alley"--do they even use training aids like that anymore?
