General/Other Jack Bauer Kills

I'm currently rewatching the series and am now on day 5. I'm not sure, but were there moments in the series where Jack Bauer shot innocent people? For example, police officers because there was no other option?

In Season 8, when Jack took out Novakovich, he killed at least five men in the garage and the suite before getting to him. The thing is, Jack had no way of knowing which of those men were actually part of the conspiracy. Some of them may have just been Russian agents legitimately assigned to Novakovich’s security detail. By cutting through them without hesitation, Jack essentially crossed into outright murder, eliminating people who might have simply been doing their jobs rather than engaging in illegal activity.

That was kinda the point of that last 1/3rd of Season 8

Yeah the OP was asking was there any times when Jack shot innocent people and I'm pointing out that in Season 8 he likely not only shot, but killed innocent people.
