A Secret Service agent saw the barrel of a rifle sticking out from the bushes, about 300-500 yards away, and fired at the suspect who then took off, authorities said.
I might be wrong, little gun experience, but just to shoot at something that could be a barrel without investigating first seems mental. 500 yards is quite far to know for sure it's a gun barrel?
RonnieOatmilk-
seems mental
I guess context is everything right.
It's FL. Why wouldn't you shoot first?

Guessing the Secret Service were using a 5.56mm carbine standing up.
300 yards is probably a 50/50 chance of hitting a stationary standing target.
500 yards is spray and pray. Not only is it further off he bullet will be dropping back through the speed of sound and becoming less stable.
