“You’re being sarcastic, right?”
No I’m not being sarcastic. Given a shop full of people, I think the cop analyzed the threat and showed proper restraint.
I think the article said the shots were fired outside.
“I think the article said the shots were fired outside....”
No, they were fired both inside the restaurant and outside.
At that point with shots being fired inside, being a CCW holder that spends much time on a combat pistol course, I would have opened up in fear for my life. For sure, killing the first one as I wouldn’t fire till I had a clean, “target-rich” sight picture; and hopefully killing the 2nd one as well in a matter of seconds. I suspect double-tapping the first one would have made an easy kill as he wouldn’t see it coming till it was too late. The 2nd one may have, or may not have, been just as easy depending on his reaction. But for sure, the family of the first one would be planning for his dirt nap right about now. BTW, cowardice will take one to an early grave. IMHO, they lucked out.
