"Then again, maybe the shooter was using a bolt action .308 with a scope and didn't know his short range dope."
Hmmm, I don't see that. Supposedly these guys are trained to the max. And anyone who's shot close up with high sights should know that. Presuming he shot low, I'd rather suspect the hoodie hid the topography of the anatomy, or the fact that few telescopes focus well at close range. (I've got a 12X varmint scope that won't focus to 25 yards.)
Apparently the dipwad is still alive as of the news at 7PM --I've been out of touch since then. El Dipwado had quite a record and did time, too, according to that 7 PM report. At that point --7PM -- it wasn't clear if he actually had a gun, so maybe he was bluffing his way through the whole thing.
And I was looking at the bullet hole in the glass. Without scaling to verify it, it looked bigger than a .22, like maybe .308 or even 9mm but I frankly don't know how glass reacts to a 3000 f/s projectile. Would it blow a hole that much bigger than the projectile?
I don't see an urban PD using a .308 in a close quarters urban situation.
All this, bearing in mind that it's all speculation at this point, but it's interesting to MMQB the ballistics anyhow.
In any case, job well done, DPD! Everyone went home safe except His Dipwadness.
