Most likely the cop was aiming center of mass and missed LOL.

Dammit!!
Now the "hands up, don't shoot" cop bashers and other societal hemorrhoids are going to expect EVERY cop to do the same thing every time a cop has to shoot.

YUP! It will be a point of reference for every fatal shooting with an armed suspect for awhile...

I can just hear it now "well why did you not just shoot the gun out of their hand rather than dropping them when they rushed you?"

Well if the LEO had of been a NYC cop his shot no doubt would have bounced off a couple of civilians first or a truck had it have been an LA county officer.
I say it was a lucky shot rather than skill.
