Both the title here and on the article absolutely do make it sound like the off-duty officer shot at people, when he actually shouted "you're all gonna die" and then fired into the air around a dozen times before being tackled and disarmed by event-goers. The article also mentions that it's unknown if the officer was fired or quit. Finally, the officer is asking the judge for reduced bond, which really might not be reasonable in this case. permalink fedilink source parent [+] NumbersCanBeFun@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
