Firearms training doesn’t teach you to do some sharpshooter type “Shoot the gun out of his hand” shit (Saying this as an example, it’s very clear Pretti was not carrying a weapon in hand.). You’re trained to shoot center mass and shoot until the threat stops. That said, it’s really hard for me to believe that he was somehow a threat after a bunch of dudes kicked the shit out of him, then still a threat after shooting him in the back 5 times. That was a murder. Straight up.
