This is the problem with handing out guns and other weapons to people who have no clue when it is appropriate to use them or not! Surely firing into a car that has passengers is not a good idea at the best of times!
Perhaps this means that we should be going back to basics and teaching our law enforcement officers that the life of a human being does have a value, irrespective of who that person may be! Shootings like this is why certain people in this world should not be put into any kind of position where they have any kind of power at all.
