Lubbock, TX, Avalanche-Journal ^ | 03-22-04 | Drennan, Kerry

A Lubbock Police officer fired the fatal shot that ended a 17-hour standoff with an ex-con

Looks like this cop gave good old Robby Lynn his receipt for his share in a lead mine.

"multiple law enforcement officers"

?

In Texas, they increased the size of a police department by cloning one cop? Which cop?

Perhaps the author meant "several law enforcement officers?"

"From the initial investigation, the use of deadly force against the suspect was justified per the Texas Penal Code requirements," Ranger Dusty McCord said.

Don't mess with Texas.

(Ha)

Now this was a well run op.......note that a second team was called in when original team had been on target too long. Note how the surgical precision of a common 30 caliber bolt gun stopped the threat. And of course my favorite....they brought in EOD from Cannon AFB . And the Texas Rangers review the shooting. Nice to see Lubbock Swat didn't shoot any of their own this time. Seems lessons learned prevailed in time. No rush to kick the door 'n shoot the whore per se.......

Stay Safe !

Who will be doing the post action debrief from those New Mexico folks from last week? LOL

[Squantos]

?? Memory shot ....what action ??

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Those folks who tried to tie down one of there own and "initiate" said newbie by inserting no nos into never should bes.

I figured you'd be pinged to something like that?









Because of the obvious reasons.










The SWAT angle I mean.

[Squantos]

LOL..........Oh that incident. That was a band of freaks trying to be a band of brothers. SWAT weenies trying to swat the newbies weenie per se......

Stay safe !

"Rule 308!"

[glock rocks]

Some obvious booby traps were found inside, an investigator said.

"Rule 308!"

Thank goodness for Rule 308... coulda been much worse.

[Travis McGee]

Sometimes the surgical application is the best way.

Sounds like it went pretty smooth. This guy was sentenced to 20 years in '89?? Must'a been a good boy in prison, he got out a little early.

I had intended to get off SWAT last June. My wife and I finally bought the pizza shop in December. I quit being a firearms instructor but I stayed on SWAT. I figure I'll have to stay on another year because we have a bunch of new guys, 1/4 of the team has less than 2 years on and 1/2 have less than a year. They all went to a school yesterday. The team got revamped after a bunch of changes 'at the top.'

Been fun working two full time jobs and then the occasional SWAT call out. Our other sniper picked up sergeant so we just filled his position, the new guy was an 0311 in the Marine Corps and a Gulf War I veteran. He can shoot.

No tie up parties for the new guys LOL... I don't know what was going on with that. Too weird for me. About all we've ever done is drink beer together.

[Cap'n Crunch]

Oh, another reason I stayed on the team, I'm a bit of a tin-foil hatter, I figure pretty soon there is going to be some domestic problems here in the US that need to be taken care of.

We just got some full auto M-16's and some M-14's care of the US Government. Some of the 16's won't hold a zero, I suspect that the barrels are worn out. It's like shooting a shotgun at 100 yards, one round will be right where you want it and the next won't even hit paper.

[Squantos]

Pizza joint eh ? Kewl !.........My dream after retirement from EOD was a titty bar with every size shape, color, texture and taste......................of beer in the world ! Now here I am still working like a pup with three bottles of corona in the fridge . Albeit I do have a beautiful girl friday it was a s close as I got to my dream bar ! ...........:o)

Stay safe Crunch and let us know where that pizza place is. I go up to Wright Pat a bunch and may swing down for a slice er two.

Tell yer armorer those 16 barrels may just be loose. They won't appear loose but are not properly tightened down thus the flyers after one or two round. GI's liked to put their sling thru the front sight and as they picked up the weapon every time the tug on the sling acted with torque and putting wear on the barrel/upper reciever mating surface.

A local should have a go-no-go gauge and a barrel wrench ..... if not brownells, for less than a hunnerd duckets, will have the proper tewls to make em kewl again.

Again.....Stay Safe !

[Travis McGee]

Yeah, you better stay on the team until at least after the elections! I think it's going to get hot, and the Islamikazis are going to try a "Madrid" in the USA.

[Cap'n Crunch]

Yeah, pizza joint. It's nice working for yourself. Place came with a house next door, zoning laws etc. Guys are telling me that I should tear the house down and put up a drive-thru beverage store. Customers could pick up their pizza and a 12 pack at the same time. Maybe I could get some of them dancin' girls your talking about to sell the hooch.

On second thought, momma probably wouldn't be too thrilled with that idea. And when momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

Thanks for the tip on the M-16's, we've got a lieutenant on the dept. that puts together his own rifles. I don't think he's looked at these but I know he's got the tools we need to tighten up the barrels.

[Cap'n Crunch]

I figure were heading for alot of internal problems in the next few years. (the voices told me so) Although I have my own weapons and ammo, it's nice shooting OP's LOL...

Still haven't ordered my book from you, I hope it's going well for you.

And the pizza place is named "Selenti's" and it's here in the People's Republic of Lorain, Ohio. If you guys are ever in town I got free pizza for you.

[Old Professer]

Hey! Everybody, Free Pizza at Selenti's in Lorain, Ohio.

[Cap'n Crunch]

LOL... come on down! I got some good Irish Whiskey and some Bailey's too!!
