Oops, thank you Alex. I actually did my first calculation at 130 yards (giving about 30mph), but on a re-read thought that it said "four seconds from the first warning shot to the fatal shots." So yes, that does change things, and smack in between either claim where imprecise figures like "about 4 seconds" can sway it either way. So definitely more inderminate than I was thinking.
I'm still reticent to accept the "reaction" time thing, because it does say, "used letal force at 65 yards" not "decided to use lethal force at 65 yards."
And no, Jazzman, I have no desire to pin this on anyone. I just found it an odd statement to say, "We have the distance, and we have the time it took to cover that distance, but we can't figure out the speed."
