1. If the shots were through the side window

I think that that should be proof that she wasn't trying to run over him. An officer can shoot a fleeing suspect only if the suspect has committed a felony. Attempting to run over an officer would be a felony. But if he shot through the side window and wasn't trying to run over him, the charge might be obstruction of ICE. But is that a felony?
