He had a duck gun. At those ranges the pattern is the size of your fist. Put the bead on the side of the guy's head, away from sister-in-law, and squeeze.
The question is which to shoot first. I'm thinking that the best option is perp without hammer cocked. Or perp with gun on me.
Woman should have folded legs and fell, but this guy wasn't ready to shoot. That is the #1 problem.
Absolutely agreed.
It’s easy. You shoot the guy with the gun on ya, first. The perp with the hostage will not shoot SIL because she is his shield. Then work on getting him, even if taking the legs of everyone next.
