There was a mass shooting in Tucson, AZ last Sunday in which an individual murdered a woman, set the house on fire, then shot the responding EMTs and firemen, killed a neighbor, and tried to kill several others.
Crazy story, but most probably have not heard of it since the POS was of a preferred status of the MSM and the preponderance of victims were first responders, which are frowned upon by the MSM.
That's about as non-political as I can make it for THR...
Anyhoo... The hero cop that ended the rampage did so after a high speed chase, crash, and then jumped out of his patrol car, and fired 5 rounds at the POS at a distance of 43 yards, striking him in the head, and ending the fight.
Pistol used was a S&W M&P9 2.0.
Analysis of the shooting is here...
Now, I am a good shot. I can get 2.5" groups at 25 yards, off-hand, with my carry gun.
What kind of groups can I get at 43 yards? I have no idea, since I have never tried. I did recently fire 5-shots at 100 yards using two different pistols. I got one hit each, that were in the black. But that was with a rest and not under duress.
This hero cop fired five rounds after crashing his car, at a moving target, while being shot at, and ended the fight. Amazing.
I don't think I could do the same. Maybe. Stress does strange things to the body.
Could you make that shot at 43 yards, with five tries, and with full adrenaline rushing?
