Hitting the Target (or Not): Comparing Characteristics of Fatal, Injurious, and Noninjurious Police Shootings

"research consistently indicates that police officers who use
deadly force miss their intended targets far more often than they hit them
(Geller&Karales, 1981a, 1981b; Geller&Scott, 1992; Matulia, 1985). Hit
rates vary notably across police agencies but rarely exceed 50% (Geller &
Scott, 1992)."
