    The following is a table published in the March 1995 issue of Police magazine — a look at every bullet fired last year by New York City cops, as reported in the police department’s 1993 Firearms Discharge Assault Report:

    (columns: shots fired, hits, target)

    928 173 At perpetrators
    155 111 At dogs
    43 17 Accidental discharges
    18 10 To protect other officer
    10 0 Police officer intoxicated
    8 8 Suicide
    6 0 Into locker
    5 0 At vehicle
    3 3 At girlfriend
    3 2 Attempting suicide
    1 0 Threatening suicide
    1 1 At wife
    1 0 At beer can
