Without more context it’s hard to pass judgement. Were the victims hit by pass-through shots on the attacker or a wall? Did the firearms officer straight up miss? Were they using their handgun or their carbine?
The real difference will be if they hold the firearms officer accountable, for negligence if nothing else.
It is their responsibility to ensure that everything beyond their target is safe before firing. This can become a grey area whem walls or other concealment is behind the target or when the target is threatening enough people that the risk may be worth it to end the threat, such as injuring 1 bystander to save 4 other victims from being shot, almost like the trolley problem.
Good god. Are British police as bad as American cops now?

That said, no, they aren’t as bad as our police
If they just get desk demotions they’re American now.
They just immediately get an American accent and teleport into Cincinnati, Ohio. I can see it.
“Now”
