Need some time at the shooting range?

Sounds like some of New York's finest could use some target practice.

Six officers from Manhattan's 23rd and 28th Precincts fired at least 77 rounds at Rooks in two bursts of gunfire, said Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne. Rooks, who was on parole for a robbery conviction, was hit in the hip, neck and shoulder in front of 5 E. 115th St. He was in stable condition yesterday at Harlem Hospital. No cops were wounded.

If you shoot 77 rounds at a bad guy he should be dead when you're done. I'm tempted to call the Fraud, Waste and Abuse Hotline to report the waste of ammunition which will saddle the taxpayers with a trial that could have been avoided.
