The cops ended that ‘97 shootout with a bolt-action rifle and a shotgun, correct?
(Not that it would matter to a urinalist with an agenda/s;)
One of the perps shot himself in the head because he was out of ammo and pretty much surrounded. The other was shot in the lower leg, don’t remember what caliber, and left to bleed to death in the street while the officers talked about calling an ambulance. But I’m actually okay with that.
IIRC, in the 1997 shootout the second gunman was blasting away from behind a car when a shrewd cop hit the pavement & fired underneath three vehicles at the perp’s unarmored feet.
The perp went down & died shortly afterward.
Anyway, this Boston liberal bemoans the “easy availability of guns to ordinary citizens and criminals”. Nice being lumped together like that, isn’t it?
