How is assault defined in Ala.? In Fla., both assault and battery require intent, and the article says the shooting was accidental.

The cop got charged, seems odd to me that he was even charged  
It's odd that he was charged.  Even more strange that he was charged with a felony.  Non life threatening injuries don't qualify as serious physical injury so they'd have to show intent.

It would have been a felony here as well. Seems reasonable enough.

That's just it, without intent, it doesn't qualify under the assault 2 statute.  Classifying a minor gunshot wound as serious physical injury is a huge stretch.
ETA:  Found the intent in a related article.  Witnesses said he aimed and shot at the fleeing probation violator.

The officer's account of what happened and the report of several eye witnesses differed on a few key points.

I don't see how the outcome would be different if he were on duty. I think it's odd that he's charged, but if it was a bad shoot off-duty, it'd be a bad shoot on-duty.

Can't be shootin' fleeing felons unless they pose a great enough threat to the public that it would justify using deadly force to seize 'em.

Yhea WTF?  He was arresting a felon.  Isn't that part of his job?

Only question is was the accidental good shoot due to a struggle, or a negligent discharge due to loosing focus while reaching for cuffs, etc?

Using only lawful amounts of force is also part of the job.  If the officer actually used excessive force then good on the department for bringing up charges.

That may be true.  Also this was not a NEW walmart, so there are about 48 cams everywhere.  

Ever notice that, NEW walmarts have no cams, or very few.  The old, crufty ones have 48-98 cams pointed everywhere.

But I digress.

You how to avoid being a probation skipping felon being shot in the azz???

Thats right, don't be a probation skipping felon.

I wonder why the off duty officer didn't simply phone this one in?
A felon shopping at walmart isn't likely to be in a hurry, he would have been there long enough for uniformed officers to arrive.
I am thinking the LEO knew this guy somehow.

From what I heard/read on the news around here some witnesses didn't think it looked so accidental thus the charges....FWIW of course

I guess it's different there, but recklessness also makes it assault here.

No kidding.    Tons of serious off duty shootings have ended badly and those were gods honest life in jeopardy armed robbery typesituations.   Even then it is a crap shoot on whether the officer will decide to shoot based on scenario.

Probation violations?    Not like it is a critical incident.   A phone call to have officers meeting to the front of the store?    So easy it is rediculous.
