Amazing footage.
AR-15 head shot at 20 yards in hostage situation.
High risk, high reward.

I like the commentary.  He was saying what I would be thinking.  :o

He called it correctly at the end,"He dead man, he dead.  My God.  He deserved it though, he deserved it..."

Now, hopefully the cop won't get punished for doing his job.  That was a great shot!

That is a seriously crazy shot, so dangerous. Who knows what the suspect was saying that might have provoked the situation but that is about as close to unideal as you can get.

Nice shot! Good job by the officer.

Dead perp made a serious mistake, he wasn't crouched down behind his hostage and he turned away from the officer with the AR.

His height gave the officer an open target at what looks to be a little over ten yards.

Bang. One less.   :thumbsup:

I am sure I could make that shot with a properly sighted in AR, I would just be so scared that in the reaction time that I am pulling the trigger that someone could move and the bullet could hit the wrong person.
