Why is that important? If someone is going to draw a gun and fire on you, then you're a bit less than 1 second away from dying. If there was a scream, then the police officer was put into a situation where he was led to believe there was a good chance of this happening, then was subjected to an alarming stimulus, then had to make a split second life or death decision. The fact that the above scenario can happen, resulting from a crank phone call, indicates there is something very, very wrong. Too much power is being made available to the behest of unchecked assertions.
