State police are investigating a Wednesday night confrontation during which shots were fired in a condominium parking lot. It was the first time a South Burlington police officer fired a gun in the line of duty in more than 30 years.

Basically, some idiot in a car with illegal plates ran from cops, crashed his car, then another cop showed up and got out of his car (assuming it was a foot pursuit) and when they drove at the cop he fired two shots into the driver's side door.
Nobody got hurt, I'd say he was well within his rights to defend himself, yet the PD calls the state in to "investigate", because apparantly they have zero clue. I'm so glad I don't live there, I'd hate to think my taxes go to those idiots.
