Police: "Come out with your hands up or we will shoot each other"

Baldwin Borough police sergeant shot by accident

Wounded in back by fellow officer during house call

The man, who has not been identified by police, opened the door. He held a milk jug in one hand. The officers, who couldn't see his other hand and feared he was holding a gun, yelled for him to show both his hands. He refused, closing the door.

For reasons that still aren't clear, the officer behind Sgt. Miller then opened fire, squeezing off two shots from his patrol rifle. Behind him, the third Baldwin Borough officer fired a shot into the side of the house.
At least one bullet hit Sgt. Miller in the back, wounding him just below the line of his bulletproof vest.

Guglielmi says the investigation is focusing on how the instructor came to discharge live ammunition, though one theory is that he picked up the wrong gun.

You just cannot fix stupid. Seems lately cops are just crazy and will draw and shoot at anything.

Where's the ban on assault idiots?
