Warning shots are against department policy everywhere in California.
LEO's are trained to shoot at center mass because you are less likely to miss. Shooting at a leg is only in the movies.
LEO's are trained to stop the threat and you fire until the threat stops. That means 8 shots in the mind of this LEO.
If you are close enough, LEO's are also trained in the "failure drill" to stop a threat. Failure drill is three shots, two to center mass and one to the head.
