Shooting in Oregon last August.
Lesson One: The shooter had all the indicators of not being a nice person plus the big flag having his hands where they could not be seen. Bad juju there. Turned out that he had a gun and was ready to use it.
Lesson Two: The Idjit Attacker managed to hit the magazine release and shortened his firepower. A good thing for the Oregon Trooper.
Lesson 3: The Trooper was hit but he managed to place at least one good shot on the Idjit.
Responding officers found (Trooper) Zistel suffering a gunshot wound. They found Allen’s car a half mile down the freeway, parked on the shoulder. Allen was dead, shot once in the chest.
Last I heard, Oregon State Troopers carry the Glock 22 (.40 S&W) shooting the 165 grain Remington Golden Saber round, by any standard not a bad combination. Still the Attacker managed to pick up the lost magazine, reload, get back in his car and drive for a mile. I don’t think I need to explain much.
Points to ponder…
Trooper using cover, one good hit on the bad guy but that mag-drop screwed the bad guys mind set just enough and broke off the attack. He was set to kill that Trooper… 🙁
No such thing as a one hitter quitter.
Exactly. And adreneline is a powerful thing
Seems a pretty salient point for NOT telling us how many rounds we NEED in our magazines…
Mien Gott. Thank God the Trooper was “only” slightly hit.
