Oh great! I was wondering what the facts were, they didn't mention them in the article, but it seems like you know them all.
Why was there a shooting? What causes it to escalate to that point?
"Reports of an armed person endangering others. The BEI said the person and police exchanged gunfire."
So some dude was being an asshole had a gun. A shootout occurred with police and it's likely that the police accidentally hit his daughter who was in the house at the same time.
I'm not saying the police are good here, but it's pretty hard to say just based on that information that the cops did anything wrong.
Now it could come back that the cops went off all Rambo and lit up the house for no reason, but it could also come back that asshole was shooting at them and they were just returning fire and dude had his daughter lined up right behind him in another room.
So, the best option is to wait and find out what the real situation is.
tragic result of divide and conquer strategies
