Another Off Duty Shooting

And again, no hits, no runs, no errors:

• An off-duty Chicago police officer exchanged gunfire with two assailants early Sunday in Washington Park on the South Side.

  The officer was confronted by two gunman about 1:50 a.m. in the 100 block of East 57th Street and all three fired, though the officer wasn’t injured and the gunmen fled, Chicago police said.

  Police did not say who fired first. The officer initially exchanged gunfire with one person before a second gunman also opened fire on the officer. Both gunmen then fled.

No one should care who fired first. This ridiculous statement by the media (and if it was a ridiculous question, then shame on them) is going to get cops and citizens killed. You don't have to "take fire" to feel your life is in danger. The Law isn't written that way. 

The General Orders (and training) have unfortunately, turned street encounters into a "quick draw" contest, and few people practice that.

Glad the Officer is okay.
