Good shooting. Give the cop a medal. Of course if the perp is a minority, the ACLU and associated buffoons will raise a stink.

Do you know more about the dead man? What makes it tragic?

sniper takes the shot. Not an easy job. I assume the A leave is a formality

Tragic? You do know the cop shot a man holding a knife to a 5-7 month old baby's throat, don't you? If this is still a tragic death in your eyes, you've got problems.

Sounds like a FATS scenario that I shot during a visit to the Police Academy.

Man threatening a baby that he is holding in a car seat.

Tricky head shot, but I made it.

Afterwards, the instructor (a friend) pointed out that there was a much easier groin shot below the carrier. Can't say that I noticed or thought of that!

Sigh...it's so hard to get sarcasm across in plain text.

Yes, the police infringed on his right to choose/major league sarcasm

I'm wondering how the baby remained unharmed.....

The news video in my mind has this baby flying through the air and a hero diving across the room and catching it in his/her hands.

Where was he shot? Face? The neck? I hate it when they leave out the juicy details. Sigh.
