The man backing into the marshals vehicle does not constitute an immediate threat to life. Perhaps the marshal if he/she feared for their life so much that they deemed it necessary to start firing into a vehicle without knowing what was inside the vehicle should not have parked themselves behind the truck, if they really felt that threatened.
All of the LEO's involved here need to be at the very least terminated from their positions because they clearly lack sufficient judgement to be in such a position. You do not fire into a vehicle if you do not know what is inside...if they did know a child was inside and fired anyway they should be charged with the murder of a 6 year old boy.
