I agree but neutralizing the threat has different connotations in law enforcement training than military training. They did what their training had ingrained in them, shooting to stop the immediate threat but not to necessarily kill the perpetrator. Sgt. Todd said they he told himself to remain calm and do what his firearms instructor had told him.
In the Army you close with and kill the enemy.
In law enforcement you close with the enemy and read him his rights.
I assume they'll do ballistics on the rounds they pulled out of Hasan. Doesn't really matter to me though.
