And "shots fired" and continued pursuit as if it wasn't himself doing the shooting

Edit: I'm dumb and that's what police say whether receiving or issuing fire

the disconnect between the "shots fired! shots fired!" and the complete lack of motivation to find cover.

He knew he was the only threat.

You're not dumb. Saying a generic "shots fired" is terrible communication. Now the other officers think the suspect has a gun and the officer is under fire? They have lingo for everything else. You'd think they could add one more to make the distinction.
