Something doesn't jibe about Breonna's unfortunate shooting

If the cops were returning fire, then they were firing at the muzzle flash of the one shot fired at them.
How could the cops have returned fire so inaccurately as to miss the shooter but so accurately that five shots hit the only other bystander? It doesn't add up.
Can it be Breonna fired the shot at the police?
If the cops were just unskillful shots, why wouldn't five return shots go all over the room and possibly strike both Breonna and her boyfriend? They were "awfully precise errors." Five shots go wide in exactly the right way to hit the only bystander?
If the cops are being shot at and in fear for their lives, would they really disregard where the muzzle flash came from and wantonly murder someone because of their race? While someone else was shooting at them??? And what made the shooter stop shooting if he didn't know who was there and suddenly found himself being fired at? Wouldn't instinct make him empty his clip?
Of course, if Breonna had the gun and stopped shooting because a shot hit her pulmonary artery, then that would explain why only one shot was fired at the cops.
Can it be the gun was registered to the boyfriend because she wasn't really supposed to have it? She had resigned from her EMT job and her employment file said "do not rehire."
It could be she tried to stop him from shooting, I suppose. It could be she put herself in the path of the return fire while trying to grab the gun from the boyfriend. It could also be that she had the gun, she shot, and the five return shots stopped her from shooting a second.

SoreShoulder,
Wouldn't instinct make him empty his clip?
No, not really. But he may have emptied his magazine. 😉🤔
Best.
No, I'm talking about the thing you put your bullets in.
Hmmm..... bullets in clips.

The facts do not matter.
I thought we had covered this enough times in the past but be that as it may:
The two images on the left and right ends are CLIPS where the cartridges are placed in the magazine for firing.
The two images in the middle are magazines; one on the left is for rifle, the one on the right is for pistols.
It is imperative that we as supporters of firearms use the proper descriptions.

I think you mean the ones on the inside because the ones on the ends are clearly full of bullets.
Now you're just actin' silly.
Did I miss the big discussion on this issue when it was current?
Yes, you did, not just once but many, many times, especially when someone brings it up like you have. Your silliness aside, there is a distinct difference whether you choose to acknowledge it or not.
Besides, these are bullets:
This is a cartridges:
So, now that this has been cleared up, we're done here.
Best.
