He only hit the fellow ten out of fifteen times with a 9mm at close range. Honeycutt needs to keep delivering pizzas so his aim and hits per clip will improve.

In defense of Mr. Honeycutt (although he seems to be doing fine in that regard himself!) it's only fair to note that firing under stress, with someone possibly shooting back, is a lot different than shooting paper targets at the range, and 10 hits out of 15 shots is pretty commendable.

OTOH, if he had say a .45, it wouldn't have been necessary for the reporter to add that the perp died.
LOL!

He did better than most police officers in a similar situation.

psssst, it's a magazine, not a clip. You can learn that at the range.

better than the 2 out of 15 for the average cop, especially under duress and in the presence of pizza.

He was afraid Pizza Hut would charge him with the pizza, so he hung on to it while firing.
