Detroit Police save money by eliminating pistol practice?

At least, based on this story, you’d have to think it’s the most likely answer:

Cop Fires Twelve Shots at Dog, Hits Two Animal Control Workers Instead

[. . .]

Detroit Police needed to remove the dogs, so they called the Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society. While the rescuers were setting traps for the three pit bulls, one got loose and started running towards a police officer. That’s when, we’re told, she pulled her gun and fired off twelve rounds.

[…]

“The police pulled a gun out and shot, but she missed the dog. I guess she was scared or something, and she hit the animal control person,” he said.

One animal rescue worker took a bullet in the back of the leg. Another grazed his back side. A stray bullet also clipped his co-worker’s boot.

Not quite the best advertisement for range safety, weapons handling expertise, or accuracy.
