How come a warning shot isn't fired into the ground? Shooting into the air would obviously be dangerous but why not shoot into the concrete? Is it to make sure they don't blow of a toe, or is it more because of what Phage said?
I don't think a warning shot was necessary here anyway. Even if the guy had five kilos of dynamite strapped to him and a dozen handguns, if the police weren't aware of it then it shouldn't matter. I don't think it's good enough to say 'We thought he might have had a gun, so we killed him and turned out we were right.' I think knowing he has one gun and is drawing it like that, that's enough to warrant the shooting I think.
