We team up with American Public Media to look at why police spend more time learning to shoot their guns than learning how to avoid firing them.

Facts and circumstances never disclosed until now tell a complicated story about the agency’s role in a collision that killed three corps members.

City officials said they were worried that guns sold to the public would end up in the hands of criminals.
