I'm glad the good guys won. I am also glad neither me nor my loved ones were downrange from the shooter. Shooting out the tires on a fleeing felon's car is good movie stuff but a poor decision in real life.

Bullets sometimes do funny things once they've left the barrel.

I wouldn’t have done it with my little .380 that’s for sure. Could have ricocheted off the rim and killed some bystander. I’d say the guy should get a B in headwork as the navy saying goes.

“Bullets sometimes do funny things once they've left the barrel.”

Excellent point.

A parking lot full of shoppers and all it takes is a ricochet or a bullet fragment to hit one of those citizens and the shooter would find himself at the gray bar hotel.
