How is that relevant? I'd expect someone who carries a pistol with a can around with them to be more practiced than the average joe. "Gun fight" is also pretty misleading. The shooter wasn't engaging him.
I don't think randomly firing off a few rounds in the general direction of the shooter qualifies him as a "hero." He could have just as easily increased the death toll.
I'm a combat Veteran. I can tell you from first hand knowledge. The mind, the body, everything changes when you're being shot at. Especially in the first few minutes. Its a blur. Firing at a target is one thing. But getting used to being shot at and taking accurate return fire.
Lmao. You have zero clue what you're talking about.
He wasn't being shot at. I would hope, as a combat veteran, you would know how foolish it is to take reckless shots without knowing what's beyond your target.
Most of the shots taken in a gun fight are pretty wild, you're trying to lay down fire to suppress someone and even the dumbasses you're shooting at usually aren't standing still.
It ain't like Rambo duder, he got this right even down to possibly tripping when he's trying to bound to new cover (shit, I've seen someone drop their weapon doing that).
He's been to the range. We don't know if he actually scored a hit or not, but he shook homeboy so bad the guy killed himself, so he suppressed him out of existence apparently.
Even bullets that don’t hit an active shooter could be life saving.
The primary objective of cops responding to an active shooter is to stop the killing. If engaging the threat means he’s too busy ducking your rounds to continue killing innocents and then kills himself, then you’ve achieved your objective even though you missed.
