Even under the worst-case hypothetical—that a third party fired an accidental discharge—the officers’ response remains lawful. Use-of-force law does not require officers to be correct; it requires a reasonable perception of an imminent deadly threat in real time.

A violent, non-compliant suspect; a firearm just recovered; a shouted warning of “gun”; then a gunshot during a chaotic struggle. That totality makes deadly force reasonable, regardless of who fired first. “Unarmed” is a slogan. Reasonableness is the legal standard—and ICE clears it.

"You are wise to buy this material. I hope you watch it, internalize it, and keep it to the forefront whenever you even think of reaching for a gun"

-Massad Ayoob (President of the Second Amendment Foundation)
