Can off-duty Pentagon police shoot into moving cars and kill people ?

A Pentagon Force Protection Agency police officer shot and killed two people that he believed were attempting to break into a vehicle early Wednesday morning, according to the Takoma Park Police Department. WUSA9 has been talking with the Department of Defense and legal experts to look at what rules and laws govern what the Pentagon police officer involved can and cannot do. Around 5 a.m. Wednesday, Takoma Park Police responded to the Takoma Overlook Condominiums on New Hampshire Avenue for reports of gunshots. On scene, the officers said they were approached by an off-duty Pentagon Force Protection Agency (PFPA) officer who said he witnessed an attempted car break-in. According to Takoma Park police, the off-duty officer said he "engaged" the individuals and opened fire at them when they fled the scene in a vehicle. Both people died at a Prince George’s County hospital. Right off the bat, we know the Pentagon officer is now on administrative leave. According to the DOD, he currently meets all of his use of force and firearms qualifications and was allowed to take his service weapon home with him. How he used the weapon is now the focus. “Well, a lot of questions come to mind,” said Glenn Ivey, former Prince George's County state's attorney and federal prosecutor. “I know the facts aren't all out and they're still investigating.” Not only are police investigating, but so is the Department of Defense.
