It was the last resort to use live ammunition. No matter how well trained you are or whatever other means you have tried to subdue or calm a suspect unfortunately there will always be occasions when these methods don't work and as a last resort live ammunition is the only thing left.
It is a tragedy for all concerned but at this time I don't think anyone should be pointing fingers.
