But not one that is already smoking from the shots being fired at you. At best, he misses or doesn't immediately incapacitate you and you get a chance to return fire. This was simply a planned execution, and he didn't miss. Glenn, your exercise included clearing leather, right? How long to actually squeeze off 6 or 8 aimed shots? Nope, i don't see how even being hyper vigilant could have prevented this tragedy.

My heart goes out to the families of these slain officers and the folks in their community.

Outstanding work by the brother officer who ID'd the perp, drew down and took him out when he refused to comply. Word is, the callous bastard was carrying one of the slain officer's pistols. Personally i'm glad he's not still consuming oxygen.
