Agreed. While a sniper round with a silencer or stray bullet from a streetfight hitting the hood of the car might sound similar, there's no way it could have been any firearm from inside the vehicle. A paranoid but well-trained cop getting down behind the engine block and visually scanning the area for danger? Understandable, but a bit silly unless you're in a dangerous downtown area. But emptying your mag into the car? You can't have people with firearms that poorly trained and that jumpy... I say if they must have guns (which could be necessary in the case of an actual armed criminal), send them to bootcamp and have the army drill some threat assessment and trigger discipline into them...
