FBI report - Offciers Killed

Here is a link to the 2010 FBI report:

http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/leoka/leoka-2010/officers-feloniously-killed

Two things stood out to me: 

1) 38% (21/55) of officers killed were shot within 0-5 feet of the subject
2) of the 38 officers out of a total of 55 killed with a handgun, 18% (7) were killed with their own weapon. This is still way too high, but a increasing improvement from a percentage standpoint.
This reiterates the importance of realistic and effective CQC training....
