I'll guess that they were using .38 low recoil loads. If 2/3 .357 max loads, then that would probably have done it. I understand that big individuals on Meth will sometimes keep coming even hit by a .45, but seems to me that 2/3 max loads should do it even then.
According to the ABC news, he was shot in the leg but kept on coming into the store and attacked the mother several times. The women finally had to leave the store themselves. I would guess the shots fired missed most of the time. Should have gone up and shot him in the head while he was tackling the mother.
May well have been so, but I thought he was hit in the upper torso when he was wrestling with the one, but guess not. They were awfully lucky not to have been killed.
According to ABC, he was shot in the leg and was limping but still he came. They had a good pic of him limping. They were lucky as he shot point blank at the women hiding under the counter. ABC said he was suspected of numerous robberies in the area.
I admire their courage but I think they should have finished him off ASAP.
ReplyDeleteYes as they broke the rule to continue firing until the threat is stopped.
DeleteAnd maybe a larger caliber.

Unfortunate that he wasn't killed.
