Yup. I've read a pistol and two "assault" rifles.
I suppose he could have been running forward with one rifle firing and had the muzzle end of the other in his mouth and ready for action.
Unfortunately for the detractors she had a Vietnam vet standing right there with her and he hasn't mentioned anything about the bad guy killing himself. As a matter of fact, one quote I've read said that after she dropped him the vet told her to put a couple rounds in his head to make sure!
Classic.
Heads shots usually do the trick, kills the brain.
I think too many have been trained to “wound” and yes I am glad police are trained in that matter, but what choices do you have in split seconds and the bad guy is wearing body armor, your weapon is not a ballistically efficient anti-armor round, I hope she did give him a head tap, “just to be sure”.
Yeah, I read a story like that. The vet advised a pop to the head, just to make sure. Assam was confident the dude was dead.
Neither Bourbounnais nor Assam mentions a suicide shot. But in an atmosphere of incredibly loud noise, thick smoke, bright flashes, sharp pain, and a huge adrenaline rush, can you ask for an intimate level of detail?
As I understand it, you're only allowed to shoot to eliminate the threat. If the attacker stops because he's wounded but alive, you cannot just walk up and finish him off. The threat is already gone.
She would have been in serious legal trouble, if she that.
