BB guns just don’t pack the punch they used to..
may as well just leave the front and back doors unlocked.
cops are coming in , ready or not..
Most LEO’s have likewise been trained to hit the target when they discharge their gun.
Apparently none got the a+ in class.
I saw a local LEO whom I went to school with faint at a homicide scene. We were playing cards next door, and were going to call a cop to pick up their cop.
Just cant make these things up.
He was Al Hunter. After he blew his wife's head apart all over the hallway, he kidnapped a pilot from Beverly airport and had him fly over Boston so he could shoot at fuel storage tanks.
He was a good guy, VN vet with “issues” who used to buy us beer.
He is also released from custody today.
Strange world.
The wording is unclear. Firing the weapon while he was being tased might have been an involuntary response.
If so, that could account for why tasing was tried in the first place, they knew it was a bb gun but didn’t account for any involuntary jerking on the recipient’s part.
Or he could have fired it before the thing hit, having really fast reflexes and all.
Hard to imagine someone meeting a supposed firearm threat with a taser rather than a firearm. But if so, kudos for their restraint.
For that matter, they seem to have showed some afterward, too. Too bad more don’t do so in these situations (71 shots?).
