"He wounded one officer and shot at a second, but he contends another officer's bullet accidentally killed police Lt. Ronald Oliver.

Even if this is true my understanding is that under the laws of at least some states he's still guilty of first degree murder and,as a result,still qualifies for the hot shot.

I thought this too, that if you are robbing some place you’re responsible if anyone gets hurt, whether you directly caused it or not. I read where a robber held up some store and the owner was so stressed he had a heart attack and died. The robber got charged with murder.
