Frankly, my concern would be why when of 4 or 5 officers together responding that knew the suspect was, " ....hitting her on the side of the head..." from dispatch, one or two immediately fired on the suspect who was several feet away from the victim, not attacking her, trying to leave (meaning escape), and who did not have a firearm or knife in his hand, but a chain and lock.
Listen to dispatch; watch what happened. Not good for risk management.
