Liberals Will now Expect All Cops to Do This

An Off duty Sheriff’s Deputy in Aurora, Colorado got in a shootout with two robbery suspects.  One of his rounds struck a shooters gun, entering the barrel and impacting a chambered round in the gun.  That must have stung. Investigators are calling it a one in a billion shot.

This photo made available on July 14, 2016 by the Aurora Police Department, shows a close-up of an off-duty sheriff's deputy's bullet lodged inside the barrel of an assailant's gun, which investigators say was pointed at the deputy before the deputy fired at him, in Aurora, Colo. Investigators say Arapahoe County Deputy Jose Marquez fired a bullet straight down the barrel of the suspect's gun, a shot they called "one in a billion." The detail emerged in a letter from prosecutors announcing that Marquez was justified in shooting the attempted-robbery suspect, who survived. Marquez also was wounded in the January shooting and is still recovering. (Aurora Police Department via AP) Photo: AP / Aurora Police Department

I don’t know what the actual odds are but that seems a little high. I managed to hit the fore stock of a 30-30 rifle during a shoot out.

During training we used graphic targets that could be modified with inserts, one time the suspect is unarmed.  The next time he is armed with a pistol, next time with a knife.  It was my experience that as soon as we put a weapon in hand, the shot pattern would tighten up with the weapon as the focal point.
