It wasn't a fair fight.
On one side, you had two men in body armor, toting assault rifles and showing every willingness to open fire now and count their victims later. On the other, you had a security officer -- a traffic officer by day -- with a pistol.
Somehow, the officer won.
Authorities have not released the name of the overmatched Garland, Texas, police officer who stopped a pair of gunmen Sunday night. But they have described what he did, actions that could be characterized as equal parts skillful, heroic and miraculous.
The event started, by all accounts, without a hitch.
Until, that is, about 6:50 p.m., when a dark-colored vehicle pulled into the entrance the Garland officer and school district officer were blocking.
"When that car pulled up and stopped, those officers began to exit that vehicle and two men exited the dark-colored sedan," Harn said. "Both of them had assault rifles, came around the back of the car and started shooting at the police car."
Gunfire reverberated around the complex, from the two gunmen, and the armed officer. A short time later, four members of a nearby SWAT team came in firing their high-powered rifles. But by the time they did, the Garland traffic officer was the only one standing.
The two attackers were already down on the ground by their car, having been shot by the traffic officer.
Within 15 seconds, the chaotic eruption was basically over.

SHAMEFUL ATTACKS BY THE DHIMMIT MEDIA TO PAMELA GELLER AND GERT WILDERS
The American “Dhimmitude” media, cowed by Islamic violence, has accepted total submission to the mandates of the Islamic terrorists.
Pamela Geller, Gert Wilders, and Bosch Fawstin (the winner of the contest) are real heroes that have not accepted to be intimidated by Islamic terrorists. It is denigrating for the American media to see their pundits attacking the freedom of expression of those opposed to the Islamization of U.S.
On January 17,2015 and in the same public school center, there was a “Stand with the Prophet” rally by Muslims, a provocative pro-Shariah law event, by supporters of Al-Qaida and Isis organized by one of the terrorists implicated in the bombing of the garage of the NY World Trade Center in 1993.
I wonder if those who try to blame the organizers of the “First Annual Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest,” for the Muslim terrorist attack would have justified if a patriotic American had irrupted in the Muslim rally on January and made a massacre of Islamic terrorists. After all, Americans are profoundly offended by their provocation and the abuse of our freedoms by those who made the Muslim rally in support of the savages that decapitate, crucify and burned Christians alive.
The “Dhimmitude” media, scared by Islamic violence, auto-censors itself and tries to justify the terrorist attack in Texas because the Mohamed cartoons contest offended the sensibility of Islamic terrorists.
On January 2015, radical Islamists desecrated the holy soil of Texas. Do not mess with Texas!!!

Iranian Commander: We Won’t Rest Until US is an Islamic Republic
Don’t allow Obama and the media fool us, radical Islam officially declared war against U.S. on 9/11/2001.
In Switzerland everybody is drafted and they keep their arms in home in case they need to defend their country. It is imperative that all American arm themselves, the jihadists are already in and can attack any time our churches, malls, theaters, slaughtering innocents men women and children as they are massacring Christians in Africa and the Middle East.
Buy that guy a beer (when he gets out of the hospital)
Somehow he won?
Heh.
Jihad got YEE-HAWED
Repetitive training and drills win out, more often than not.
Good shooting, officer.
Some departments do require more than an annual qualification.
practice, practice, practice.
NOW THAT’S Gun Control.
fortunately the officer had the “Abdul factor” on his side.
Two head shots in less than 15 seconds. Not sure what distance, but under duress that’s damn good. Practice, courage, react.
The old 45 ACP scores another victory.
(Assuming the article got it right)
Either the cop realized they were wearing body armor, or he double-tapped them so fast they couldn’t get a bead on him.
Either way, two quick head shots indicates lots of practice. I’ll bet the local IPSC or IDPA competitors know him, even if they don’t know he was the one on duty that night.
My favorite art at the Garland Show were the two chalk outlines on the sidewalk outside of the Auditorium.
They should bury those guys in t-shirts that read:
We drove 1500 miles to terrorize Texas, and all we got were two holes in the head and this crappy T-shirt!
:P
The Police Officer was not Injured. He won the Shootout fair and square by a Score of Two to Nothing.
So far he is Undefeated Champion of Jihadist Elimination.
The Unarmed School District Security Officer was the one Shot in the Leg and he was released from the Hospital.
yeah I noticed that-
Most officers are MADE to use 9mm- some
departments have gone to the 40-
up here in Minneapolis- they are not
allowing 45 caliber anymore (you can be grandfathered in if you have qualified/currently carrying)
“Buy that guy a beer (when he gets out of the hospital)”
My first reaction as well - don’t want to know his name, don’t want him to become s target, but want to buy that man a beer (though I think the guy who was shot was a different guy, an unarmed security guard -either way, but ‘em both beers).
