Example of firing in a “direction”
Unrealistic simulation of something unlike the actual situation
Correct behavior?
Johnson drew his own handgun and returned fire in the direction of the suspects, who fled the scene.
Not in my book. I fire at a specific spot on a specific target. Suppressive fire, in a neighborhood, isn’t part of my self-defense plan.
It is hard to get the entire situation out of news reports, but as it reads, I would have handled it differently. Bullets fly miles and can kill out of eye sight. Each shot needs to be accounted for and you should train so you can know when you can and can’t make a shot. Shots should end in bad guys or in identified safe backstops behind them. Period.
