You unholster your weapon, drop to the ground, and instantly notice a group of individual bystanders some distance behind the suspect. What force can you justifiably use? deadly force What gives you the authority? What would be the consequences of your injuring a third party? What authority does the injuring of a third party come from?

id try to shoot a non lethal place because it may stop the shooter it may not if then deadly force would come into issue  the athority is that the shooter is endangering and assulting a law enforcement officer and is endangering the lives of other citizens.

if i injured another person (not the shooter)  i think id be either questioned and or fired depending on the severity of the wound i also think that  i would get sued or the police department.
