Your talking about 1 second that's not a whole lot of time to react, to him he felt that was the right action to take in that moment, but was it right or wrong depends on perception if you ask me obviously was the right answer to save himself and obviously the family is calling it the wrong answer

Just remember this isn't a game your talking about its someone's life no matter if its meaningful to you or not someone loved her, but I'm also not defending her

If it were me I don't know what I would of done, I never been in a life or death situation like that so I can't say I wouldn't of done the same but looking from the outside in I can say I would want to try from a shoulder shot but in that short of a reaction time your mind is different under that kind of pressure
