I was involved in 4 over my 30 years as a police officer 2 of my own and 2 as the cover officer and yes they happen quickly, I learned from the first one we are reactionary to the suspects action, suspect got off first shot. so be ready, be accurate and come to work with your head screwed on straight cause you never know when it will happen, 2 weeks after my first one I was involved in another one. then 2 years later another all in July{ first 3} the last one was with my now wife on the other end of the mic as our dispatcher she was a wreck afterwards but handled it like a champ on the air. I tell all my brother L.E.O.'S shoot straight shoot fast and react don't think, learn to be an instinctive shooter and not worry about X's on a paper target, when that first round goes off no matter who lets it off remember O.O.D.A.

On another note--was the guard wise to follow up the perp? I think he should have gotten the tellers as far away as possible and let the LEOs take care of disarming him. Could have been a different outcome if the perp had been alive and shot the guard.

No kidding! All those car jackings too! Crazy third world crap.
I just hope if I ever have to use the lessons, that I can remember important things in the heatofthemoment.

I do like how the write up under the video it said that wall the security guard was behind was not adequate protection. I don't know for a fact at this specific location, but those walls between tellers and customers are typically built to withstand bullets. Heavy wood at minimum, and the one bank we did, had CMU walls there. Specifically for this scenario.

I wonder if the guard got hit, he stumbles back and then proceeds forward. There is a small spot on the floor were he was( may be blood)that is not there when it began. Plus he walks a little funny when he goes toward the door after its done. But **** he didn't mess around, he is a hero in my book.
