9 Shots

One hit.

To the buttocks.

Is what I understand the cop that took down the NY bike path terrist did.

Now I am told it was a shot to abdomen, not the hinder.  I wonder if that shot was the 9th?  And where the other 8 rounds went in the big city.    

Many, including me, have disparaged New York's finest's marksmanship.

Meh.  Dude was rattled.  The guy had runned over people and now was running on foot with guns.  Sure they were fake guns, but officer Nash would have no way of knowing that until after.  He's in a gun fight with someone that he thinks will start returning fire at any moment.

He probably had a lot of adrenaline pumping for those 9 rounds. That was probably the first time he EVER shot at another person, and even if he is a beat cop 30 more years it might be the last time, too.

I cut him some slack.

So young, too.  Doesn't look 30 yet.

The 8 errant rounds aren't good, per se, but there is no reports of pedestrians catching them the hard way.

Everyone, get good with your gun.  And if you can't be good, be LUCKY.
