Eight.

Shots.

I don't know the context of this encounter, but I'm not sure it matters. This is sickening.

I don't think it does matter. Or at least, discussing it trivializes the greater context, which matters immeasurably more.

I agree that without the context, it's still pretty clear how horribly wrong this is. Still, I'd like to know. If anyone finds the story, please link. My guess is that it will just enrage us all more.

The same NYT story is linked up top. I linked to it and included the video.
