No. He shot into a crowd and hit two different people. She wasn't even the one with the cellphone. That guy just got shot in the hand. She was just standing near him. She could have been anybody.

cops have to be armed cause thats what you,ve chose , everyone else wasn,t then he wouldn,t have had to open fire on something he thot was a threat.

right to bear arms comes with cops rite to shoot when they feel threatend,can,t have it both ways.
feel for cops in america cause if one had restraint then they woud still get slated for not opening fire on someone who mite turn out to be a real threat.
way yous are going you won,t have any cops to blame.

If you fear for your life from a cell phone when you could have just driven away you are in the wrong line of work, when you mistake a cell phone for a gun you are F-ing stupid and are on the wrong job. Next police will be shooting people because they thought he was going to commit suicide with that cell phone that looks like a gun up to his ear. ....cops get stupider every day.
"Any reasonable person, any police officer especially, would've reacted in the exact same manner that I reacted," he said. "And I'm glad to be alive. I saved my life that night. I'm glad that I'm not a police death statistic. Antonio Cross is a would-be cop killer, and that's all I have to say."
The prosecutor who declined to charge former Mayor Richard M. Daley’s nephew in the killing of David Koschman — and apparently “threw away” the case file — has left the Cook County state’s attorney’s office, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned.
