They were not in place. If you are saying that the 3 officers left because they might be in the line of fire, Lt Byrd put officers in jeopardy when he fired a shot at Ms Babbitt. What would have happened had he missed? The round could have hit one of his fellow officers.
Before this escalates further, remember that I place the blame for Ms Babbitt's death squarely on her shoulders. She was in commission of a criminal act when she was killed, and did not obey the instructions of the officers.
