"A witness's video shows San Jose police cruisers, sirens blaring, racing toward a busy downtown intersection. Shots ring out. A man authorities said had been in multiple gunbattles with police - and had shot a sergeant in the head - emerges from the driver's side of a police car, then runs from officers before collapsing amid a hail of gunfire."
"Seconds later, another police vehicle speeding to the scene barrels over the man, the video shows. Officers fire at least a dozen more shots before approaching the suspect lying motionless on the ground - whom police later identified as 30-year-old Mohamed Husien of Davis and said was still armed. The harrowing shootout unfolding in the middle of the city's bustling downtown left bystanders shaken and describing the scene as a war zone, police acknowledged."
""We've got a lot of hot lead going a lot of places," said Roger Clark, a use-of-force expert and former Los Angeles County Sheriff's lieutenant."

Experts said officers were likely warranted to fire but raised concerns about chaotic response and bystander danger.
