Was it right for the cop to shoot Erin? I understand he witnessed her kill someone, but he just shot her with no warning. Not to put her hands up or put down her weapon. He just shot her. I don't think a cop is allowed to do that. And why bother warning the cop about the trap after shooting her?
shareAs I remember it, she is shot the very moment she stabs her boyfriend in the eye- killing him. So, if we imagine a police officer looks through the window just then and there, and he sees her knife-hand in motion a split second away from stabbing the poor guy... Calling freeze or anything wouldn't save the “victim” as she was already in motion to harm him... However, action might? In such a case, if he only just sees the thrust... then, IMO, he should shoot first. It is the only way to potentially save the guy. .. Alas, she was still too quick.
