Every single person in charge of this operation should immediately lose their job. These police tactics need to be questioned and revised. A woman gets shot. They think there’s an active shooter who has barricaded himself in his apartment. The building is evacuated. They land one of their shiny toys in the street (just for show apparently) and after all this, the suspect isn’t even in the apartment. Doubtful he was in there to begin with. You’re the big bad police.
