Tragic. The Nassau County police need better training.

I’m not bragging, but our sheriff took out a bank robber at 100 yards who had a gun to a clerk’s head. One shot, one kill.

You need time on the range to make critical shots.

Prayers up for the unfortunate woman.

****************
Many years ago (I think in the 1960s), a guy had robbed some place in downtown Dallas TX. He tried to escape by grabbing a woman from the crowded sidewalk, used his gun to get a taxi to stop and then got into the back seat while holding his gun to the woman’s head.

Back then, traffic was heavy and slow in the downtown area during the daytime. ...Texas Ranger arrived on the scene, his car a block or so away from the taxi. He took a scoped rifle from the trunk of his car and fired one shot through the rear window of the taxi into the head of the criminal, ending the whole affair with no other injuries.
