I posted this a while back....I think the source was Calibre Press. Thought it was / is interesting

Did you know?

--That 95% of officer-involved shootings occur at twenty-one feet or less?

-- Or 75% at ten feet or less?

-- Or more than 50% at five feet or less?

-- That the average gunfight from start to finish is over in 7 seconds or
less?

-- But the actual exchange of rounds is over in 2 - 3 seconds?

-- That the vast majority of officer-involved shootings occur in low or no
light where there is no "sight picture" available?

-- That in most officer-involved shootings there is no cover available to
the officer, or if there is he hasnąt used it because he doesnąt know how to
move to it quickly and effectively?

-- That under stress, law enforcement officers instinctively point shoot no
matter what style of shooting they are trained in?
