Unbelievable moment sniper shoots through a computer monitor to kill suspect holding two Bank of America workers hostage at knifepoint after making bomb threats (Florida)

Awful waste of one computer monitor.

“You got him?”

“Yeah - I got him.”

“Take the shot.”

I’ve seen some videos of Fort Scott ammunition. Solid brass and it will fire through a car door, the “A” pillar, etc. and stays intact. Once it hits a block of gelatin inside it will penetrate and start tumbling. I don’t know if they would need something like that to get through a mostly plastic monitor or not.

OTOH, Brave is my normal browser and injects ads on all videos

Thanks. If you’re on your phone there are sites you just can’t go on. NYPost, Daily Mail, Brietbart. The screen never stops hopping and refreshing to adverts.

WHY is this "unbelievable"? It's not a hard shot. Unless you have a very limited knowledge of firearms and ballistics.

Or was the author upset a bad guy got his head blown off Instead of a "no bail" your free, see you in 6 months, pretrial?

[Zathras]

It didn’t look like a tough shot to me either.

Pretty crazy. Both hostages were close. Deflection could have had catastrophic consequences.

Sterling Ramon Alavache, 36, suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and manic depression

They pour on the sympathy for the POS, depression, MS, drug and alcohol addiction, paranoid schizophrenia and manic depression and his GoFundMe page which should be confiscated and any funds going to the woman he held.

Another POS dead, it’s a good thing.

That’s weird, I use Brave, just watched the video, and I had no ads....

He learned the difference between cover and concealment the hard way.

Without clicking the link, does anyone know what city town this was in? You’d think that the article would start off with that, but no, that’s too much to expect. Thank you.

This situation creates the opportunity for the woman held in the hands of the perp to sue the sheriff’s department for the PTSD she will be suffering as a result of this guy’s head disintegrating as she was held.

A good ambulance chaser will not let this go to waste.

The part of the article I read said Fort Myers

What was the last thing that went through his head as he held the hostages at knifepoint?

[deport]

responded with tools including a robotic dog, drones,
a battering ram and a SWAT team.

Ditto that.

Interesting about the “entry wound” on the door. That from tumbling projectile or did it break up on impact? Oh, or skull fragments?

Good shot though.

I give it a 9.9, although some of the Russian judges here want to give it a 4.
