Re: There is a special hell waiting for cops who shoot innocents dead
If it was anything like the UK incident, they'd be aiming for the head.
The other thing is that the idea of bullets setting off explosives is mostly urban legend - it can be done, but it's much like the old hollywood trick of shooting the petrol tank of a car to blow it up; in real life you're better off shooting a hole in it and flicking a match at what comes out, because the chances of it igniting are minute.
Most explosives in use today are stable - you don't want to be carrying around something that can be set off by a bit of a knock in a backpack/hand luggage - because if it did it would almost certainly go off before you got to the target. This is why the failed london bombers (and presumably the other ones too) had explosive detonators, as it requires a bit more than a bit of string and a match to set these things off.
