You can never be too safe. http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2013/mar/23/maryville-war-vet-shot-10-times-in-police-stand/?partner=RSS http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2013/mar/22/maryville-police-continue-investigation-in-death/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remek 771 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Didnt read it. Hope he gets help, rather than crapped on. Also, hope no one got hurt (didn't read it). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Especially innocent people. I cant justify people shooting random cars, but I too hate seeing a fellow Jarhead leave us in this manner. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YOT 3,743 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Sad. I have a friend with PTSD. He's not good in crowds. I hope he never goes this route. He and three other soldiers were in a HumV that go blown up by an IED. The three others were killed and he got away without a scratch. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MT Predator 2,294 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Sad way to go but good job on the LEOs for preventing it from getting out of hand. Didn't sound like they had good shots even though they were using long guns. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Today. http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Deputies-Gunman-on-the-loose-in-Tacoma-neighborhood-200137831.html If someone shoots at your house, at what point do you just "duck and cover" and call the cops, or return fire? Sad way to go but good job on the LEOs for preventing it from getting out of hand. Didn't sound like they had good shots even though they were using long guns. Well, I kind of doubt he was just standing still waiting for them to shoot him. The article said he was "advancing on them." That could mean various things... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was the Seattle area, they were probably too busy shielding their bicycle while cleaning the tears off their rectangle framed turtle-shell glasses and trying not to spill their latte on their macbook while soliciting organic vegetables inside their garage/ACORN HQ/homeless shelter. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't care if the perp was advancing on them or if the LEOs had to shoot on the move, their hits should have all been center mass regardless. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't care if the perp was advancing on them or if the LEOs had to shoot on the move, their hits should have all been center mass regardless. I do agree MT, especially at the range this likely occurred at. But I do have to give them this, they fired 10 rds, and scored 10 hits. Its a step up from the shooting involving the police in NYC that shot several bystanders. But still should have only had to fire around 2-3 to drop his ass center of mass, and it makes me wonder if they were trying to kill him or not though. Hard to say as not much is being released locally at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
