However, there've been more deaths from these office-involved shootings. A police official says the department is still trying to put this into perspective.

" PUT THIS INTO PRESPECTIVE ???????? " HELLLLLLOOOOOOO IT SIMPLY MEANS THEY ARE BETTER SHOTS NOW THEN IN THE PAST .......
I say give the range training staff a raise, the training is paying off. More dead bad guys means less of a headache for the law abiding citizen's.
