Tell me again how the 9mm and "ballistics technology" are better than a caliber beginning with a four.
The perp is alive and the officer is lucky to be alive as well. She should have given him the Mozambique Drill - two to the body, one to the head.

The officer should also have kept the cruiser between the perp and herself.

I used to go to nearby St. Sebastian Church sometimes. That is not the worst part of Middletown.

Change a few demographic variables in this report and we'd have candle light vigils, protesters, and PresResidential concerns and prayers for the perp.

Was his name “Maxwell” by any chance?

Too many unknowns, in the story, to make a judgement.

9 mm is just fine. And the same thing can and does happen with 45. Utterly disgusting to hear some chubby middle-aged female screaming for her life at a situation like that. Remember, that’s who supposed to be coming to save you or your loved ones.

There are plenty of examples of a shooter using a 9mm weapon to neutralize a target. Caliber is but one criterion to consider when selecting an appropriate firearm for one’s purpose.

I had to visit Middletown many times over the years and found it mostly charmless and depressing. Of course, it is the home of the hideous far-left Wesleyan University, a Commie cesspool if there ever was one. (the Neon Deli and O’Rourke’s Diner are ok, the rest is garbage IMO.)

Not sure, but the hammer, it looked silver!
To: Captain Walker
I thought that the reason for the 9mm was that these municipalities didn't want dead perps. That or dead bystanders. The lawyers for the municipalities know exactly who the municipality hired.
I believe the ranking order for deaths involved with a shooting are:
Perp shoots other perp.
Cop shoots bystander.
Perp shoots cop.
Cop shoots perp.
Perp shoots bystander.
To: T.B. Yoits
Shot placement is more effective than caliber wars.

What I recall hearing more often is that a city doesn’t want to pay extra for the ammunition for the .45, and some “smaller officers” don’t think they can handle the recoil, which would mean more extensive and expensive training for them.

Yup. Lotsa armchair commandos who never shot more than a box of ammo lecturing everyone on caliber effectiveness vs. marksmanship. My 1911 is my favorite fun gun, but I carry an HK in 9.

You better stay away from Meriden and Waterbury.

Nope, it’s a cost per round issue.
