Pretty big damn difference between that and the initial witness testimony that it was a pit bull.
Any law dudes know what the legal defense will be for shooting and killing someone behind your target for police? I feared for my life may not apply to shooting someone who you weren't even aiming at.
Also, of all the NYPD bystanders hit by bullets, how ma have died? Might be worth looking into to see how this will go.

Get used to dissapointment. Unless the 5th circuit court feels like challenging the 11th, case law clearly absolves the officer of any wrong doing. He'll be back at work in 2 weeks, and the family will likely get $0 in compensation for funeral costs, etc.
In Corbitt v Vickers, the 11th ruled that when Deupty Vickers shot at a non-agressive pit bull and hit a 10 year old boy, they could find no prior precedent establishing that behavior as unconstitutional. And since they viewed it as any reasonable officer will shoot at any non agressive dog, Vickers was entitled to qualified immunity.
Also, Brower v County established that if an officer must knowingly attempt to violate a citizen's 4th amendment rights by shooting them. Since this was accidental, that's more precedence clearing the officer.
Case law over the last 4 decades (War on Drugs, 60-90 crime wave) has been overwheingly in favor of granting police complete protection is accidental shooting cases. The victim's family's best option is to seek damages from the city, not the offending officer.

They aren't expected to be competent, so "Scary!" will cover their asses well enough regardless of their accuracy or lack thereof.
