He shot her in the front shoulder according to the medical examiner, not a direct shot to the head or heart or neck as rumors claimed.Not true.
The other side of the window Ashli was crawling through was vacant.
The shooter was in a barricaded off alcove, with just his arm sticking through the barricade, and too far off to Ashli's left for her to be able to see.
Nor did he give any warning or say anything before shooting.
Nor is it legal to shoot unless you actually see an imminent deadly threat.
If this cop is not prosecuted, then it would be legal to shoot all police on sight, since they all could then be a deadly threat.
