Michigan Deputy Shoots Suspect Wanted for Stabbing in Mask Argument

U.S.A.-(AmmoLand.com)- At about 6:47 a.m., a suspect identified as Sean Ernest Ruis was in a confrontation inside a Dimondale Quality Dairy store. Ruis was refused service for not wearing a mask. He allegedly stabbed a 77-year-old man while they were inside the store. Then Ruis drove off.

At 7:13, a deputy with the Eaton County Sheriff's Office pulled Ruis over. The veteran female officer had 22 years of experience.

Ruis got out of the vehicle and moved toward the officer with weapons in his hands.

The officer attempted to increase distance, but Ruis accelerated toward her, and she fired shots to stop the attack. The officer continues to fire at Ruis as she attempts to increase the distance, and he attempts to make contact. Ruis uses a toe to heel advance technique, which is taught in some disciplines to close the distance quickly, without appearing to do so.

It was a very close thing. It appears Ruis and the officer made brief contact as she was firing at him.

From the video, it appears Ruis has a screwdriver with about an 8-inch blade in his left hand and a knife or scissors with about a 4-inch blade in his right hand.

It seems likely contact between the officer's gun and Ruis's hand caused a failure to feed in the deputy's sidearm. The sidearm looks like a Glock 19.

A good lesson for naive people who think that when the police are confronted by maniacal killers they can fine-tune their responses.

Suspect was white. Ergo, not news.

Couldn't the officer have followed Biden's advise?
“Instead of standing there and teaching a cop when there's an unarmed person coming at them with a knife or something, shoot them in the leg instead of in the heart,” Biden said ...

I saw this from someone’s home security camera. This one makes it even clearer that it was a good shoot...maybe even a bit restrained.

Shoot ‘em in the leg..... It looks like this guy is soaking up shots to the torso with no effect.

Range time needed. A full of mag of most anything should have stopped him.

A perp charging a LEO with a knife or "something" (A brick, machete, revolver, etc.) is not "unarmed". I remembered this but I had to find it. Unbelievable.

Here you go in color:

See "complete idiot" for reference. ;-)

After watching several more times it appears she hit him once with the last shot in her first mag, then reloaded and finished him off.

She got lucky that she hit him with that last shot, if she missed that one she would have never been able to reload.

The MSM called him RICE, but his name was RUIS, a hispanic.

Her training was excellent. She performed the failure drill flawlessly.

“...A very close thing indeed....”

Yep....wwwaaay too close for my liking.
He should never been allowed to get that close carrying weapon(s). A has-been hippie can cover over 20’ in less than three seconds...don’t ask me how I know.
She did great though, and glad for the outcome.
Train, train, train...practice, practice, practice.

There would likely have been a less favorable outcome if the deputy hadn’t been as experienced. She reloaded that weapon so fast, I still couldn’t see it happening.

“Range time needed.”

Agreed. She was acting on adrenaline. I would expect half of those slugs should have hit center of mass at that close range.

This is nothing new. I do not want women as cops or soldiers. Are we done with these feels-good but ignorant social experiments yet?

“She reloaded that weapon so fast, I still couldn’t see it happening.”

Did she just unjam the weapon instead of reloading? Could have been clearing a FTF.

She didn’t reload it. She cleared a malfunction.
