I don’t know if that report was true or not, but there was never any reason to turn loose 71 rounds of rifle ammo in that house. I wonder what would have happened if the Marine had loosed something with a little heft, like a 300 gr projectile at around 2500 fps. With 4400 foot pounds of push right off the muzzle, those fellows would have gone down like bowling pins. Of course he would still be dead, but could have bled out with a little more satisfaction.
Review your community's standards and you'll be surprized. Once a cop gun is fired, they want the Sallie to be dead.
Why not just call the guy an tell him to come down to the station?
