It sounds like Temple knows a little PCP.
Good to see a citizen help to thin the herd a little.

Well, a .45 to the brain stem will certainly stop most altercations.

The shot hit Temple in the temple. Would have been better for him if his name had been George Balls.
To: EternalVigilance
Only problem I see is officer Harrison needed to carry a larger caliber sidearm. .45 ACP - Bigger holes are better holes (usually).

Apparently, 4 ea .45ACP plus 1 ea ???(9mm? .40S&W?) to the torso were NOT enough to stop this particular altercation. It took the headshot to stop it. Something to keep in mind ...
Remember: pistols are pistols, rifles are rifles, shotguns are shotguns. Even a "powerful" pistol is really kinda marginal.

Perry Stevens must be a terrific shot and very cool headed. Four shots all hit the target while the target is struggling with the officer!?! Perhaps there was a little separation of the two that is not apparent in the text here.

i am seriosly glad the officer did not shoot the bystander with the firearm, who just saved his bacon. nowadays you just cannot trust what reaction you’re going to get from an officer, under any situation.

Well, a .45 to the brain stem will certainly stop most altercations. One would think that the four previous shots to the torso would have been quite sufficient.

Just wow, one 9 mil (or maybe a .40) in the gut, and 4 hits in the torso from a .45 and he still didn’t get the message?
Crack, or meth, or pcp, or bath salts sure do make you a living, breathing zombie.
HEAD SHOT!
Only thing that works in this situation. Just glad that Mr. Stevens had the gonads to deliver the coup de gras. This whole thing could have turned really ugly for the good guys had he not.
That’s got to be a heavy load though.

You never know. I recall a news story in the '60s about a guy found wandering along the railroad tracks near where I lived with six slugs from a .357 in his head. He didn't know who he was or what had happened but he was up and walking the tracks. Said he "had a headache."
OTOH you can take a little fall hit your head on the edge of the counter and it's lights out for good.

The Officer is lucky.........when seconds count, an armed law abiding citizen is only seconds away.
To: Secret Agent Man
Well, when his life is passing before his eyes, I would think he would take any life line offered, even if it was from a known adversary.
Funny how edge of life situations make you see sense.

Not to defend police officers for any reason, but it's generally standard department policy to suspend with pay any officer involved in a fatal shooting no matter what the circumstances. Not saying his 1995 shooting was justified, just that even if it was totally justified, his suspension would probably still show up on his record.

Meanwhile in Torrance the police can shoot a hundred rounds at two little old ladies in a pickup truck and only manage to get half of them on the truck and only two into one of the ladies.
In their defense, she was a small lady...

..who fired the fatal shot into the head of George Temple.I wonder if Temple was shot in the temple?
To: EXCH54FE
While looking for a picture of George Temple, I found
this. The shooting took place seven years ago on 2/17/06! But you'd never know it looking at the article. In fact, you might think it had happened yesterday. Effing media. Gotta keep 'em riled up and the pressure on.

To: TigersEye
This is soo true. There are countless stories of folks walking around with all kinds of stuff poking out of their heads and not even knowing it.
OTH, on the farm, I used the dreaded .22 SHORT to put down really big hogs and pigs. (actually, truth in tale, the short only stunned them, the sticking blade is what “killed” them.)
Its all a matter of placement.
