Y35.0: Legal intervention involving firearm discharge
Legal intervention involving firearm discharge is a condition that encompasses injuries that occur as a result of the intentional use of a firearm by law enforcement personnel, regardless of whether the person injured was involved in unlawful activities. While the specific injuries can vary greatly depending on factors such as the distance and angle of the gunfire, common types of injuries that may result from this condition include those to the muscles, bones, blood vessels, and internal organs. The injury can also lead to significant psychological impact. It's important to note that this category is purely descriptive and does not make conclusions about the legality or correctness of the officer's actions, nor does it reflect the criminal intent or compliance of the injured person.
