While I don't blame the cop for firing the shot at the guy running with the gun, I did notice it took quite some time before anyone check on the woman. Her husband could have broken her neck and walk away Scott-free.

in the officers defense the guy came running at him with a gun in his hand, what i would have done I would have unloaded the clip, ejected the loaded round and threw the gun down on the ground and walked to the cop.

Leave it to the cops to show up after a civillian has defused the situation, then shoot at the wrong guy and make all the women cry.  Thankfully they are as good at shooting as they are a serving and protecting.
