Cop shoots hostage holder

I'm surprised they took him out that way - it was a shot through the window, right?
Was the kid not in any danger of getting hit by "friendly fire?"

@George-K As clearly an expert on the matter, I would say a breach of the room would be a higher risk to the kid, as would be waiting longer with a many holding a knife saying he's going to kill the kid. Also, clearly as an expert sniper, I can tell you the dude made the shot very, very easy in terms having a clear shot. I was half expecting in the footage for the person with the body cam (who is holding his gun but didn't shoot) to shoot a 2nd shot to make sure it was a head/kill shot.

Are your eyes brown?
- The distance was very close.
- The closer the guy is to the glass, the less deflection. For example, with something that deflects a lot - an arrow - if you're shooting a deer standing in palmetto, if he's standing against the palmetto, shoot him. For a bullet? I've shot one on the other side of a small tree.
