It May Be Time to Review Firearms Training Proceedures

Polk Co. Deputies Fire 24 Shots At Armed Man - Polk County deputies shot and killed an armed man Thursday night.

quotes:
…When deputies arrived, Sutton was holding a .22-caliber gun and pointed it at the deputies….

…The deputies ordered him to drop his weapon, but said he refused to do so. Three deputies fired a total of 24 shots at Sutton, with 10 hitting him. He died at a hospital.


I am not trying to second guess the officers that responded, but with a shooting average of less than 50%, it may be time to review firearms training and qualification procedures for the department.
