Why is the investigation 'ongoing '? And why does there need to be an investigation?

Yes, it's a real question, what is your problem?

Damn, now I feel bad... They're investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident so they know what happened and so they will know what to charge the guy with.

They want to find out as much as they possibly can to determine how they should press charges, if anyone was hurt, if there's property damage, etc....

The level of endangerment to others will probably determine whether this is just a fine and minor imprisonment, or major imprisonment.

Really? Because I put a gun to my head, and ended up in jail for 3 weeks. This dude actually shot the fucking gun, and there's an investigation?

Like I said, there's no question that he'll be charged with something, the question is, what can they charge him with. Why did you have a problem with what I said? They're trying to make sure they don't miss/undercharge him.

Geeze, my man. It's standard procedure. It would serve you well, especially considering that you have experience in the judicial system, to do some research on how it all works.

I’m not exactly a lawyer but I know a lil bit. Usually, especially when it involves units being shot at, the DA will put together a case for the judge to consider how dangerous an individual is and whether or not they should be held without bail pending trial (done) and how much of a danger to society a person might be. They need time to consider the priors (of which I’m sure there are some, being judgmental about it) and put together a case for the judge and recommend the sentence to the judge who weighs that among other factors. This guy will probably get a public defender and tell the guy to plead no contest and, depending on the other factors (is this a first offense?) he is probably looking at 5 years. I mean they could really say “attempted murder on a public servant” etc if they think the charge will stick. That’s what they mean by pending investigation. Think about how much of this shit happens in a DA’s district every day. They need time to process this, among other cases.
