Maybe not. According to the medical reports on that facial/eye injury, I think the cop did amazingly well just hitting the “target” even big as it was.
Frankly, I’m amazed at the four shots in one arm, one above the other...not a single one life threatening...FOUR shots, rapid fire and none a threat.
Only when the onrushing “giant” got too close was the fatal shot fired, and that a one shot STOPPER. The last TWO shots, each a fatal wound were the last, fired when the agressor neared his would-be “victim”.
Yes, I typed “victim”. A cop, too, can be a victim.
The last TWO shots, each a fatal wound [...]Maybe not, I read that the second to last shot was probably not fatal.
As the feral thug charged, he lowered his head like a raging bull so that his head was tilted such that the shot passed through the front of his eye and entered his cheekbone, traveled down through his face, exited under his jaw, stopping in his collarbone. Unlike the arm hits, that shot would have probably taken the steam out his rage if he hadn't immediately been hit in the top of the forehead by the next shot. This shot probably ended up bouncing around at the bottom of his skull thus totally trashing his brain stem, resulting in instant death.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
