This happened in Macon, close to where Vote almost got mugged a little while back.
Wilson said a "Good Samaritan" was inside of the store when it was being robbed. As the robbers fled the store, the man followed them and fired shots.
The man and woman drove over a traffic island and blew out their tires. They drove the car as far as Ashley Furniture, where they stopped, got out and ran into the store. click for more No immediate threat, following them out and taking a shot? Sounds like a good way to end up in deep doo-doo yourself. |

Sounds like a good way to end up in deep doo-doo yourself. I thought I heard something about being able to shoot if the bad dudes were threatening the lives of others. "Officer they were armed and had just held the store owner up at gun point. There were people everywhere, I thought they could be going to attack someone else so I shot." Just my thought on that. I know not really a good idea. |

Its just a good thing no innocent bystanders were hit plus its not California or he would be in jail and the robbers out roaming free.
One thing the Police train on which is very important in moving target gun play is to watch their backgrounds so they can stop shooting if the danger is higher in hitting innocent bystanders. Most guys that just shoot at the range or in the back yard don't practice the art of non-static shooting because self defense shootings are normally under 5 yards if I remember what Shep told us. In an outdoor public gun play situation, watching ones background is almost as important as watching ones target. Tragedy could have occurred if while trying to stop them a woman with a baby stroller was walking by behind the vehicle. |
