This was precisely what I was thinking reading the article. Somewhere in the attic I have a mid-sixties-vintage police training manual that states this explicitly.
It is interesting that a detective trained in more "modern" two-handed stances would, for lack of a better term, instinctively use a one-handed tucked arm stance in the actual event.
And in the actual event, good job by Det. Morrison. God bless him.
