Two officers on the scene. One felt the situation could be handled with his Tazer and the other felt the situation required deadly force. Why the different conclusions?

Did both officers have both types of weapons on them at the time? Maybe the one officer who shot the fire-arm was not armed with a stun-gun, or was not within range of a stun-gun, and thus did not have that option.

My understanding is that the officer that shot the suspect was the closer of the officers and had the pick up truck as a backstop and the officer farther away used the stun gun because he was 90 degrees from the confrontation and had no backstop. Trained that way so no shots go awry and strike innocents.

I believe the story said that the one with the Taser was actually a little further away than the one with the pistol. And I would expect that two officers from the same police force would be armed identically.

Hopefully there's dashcam or bodycam video on this.
