Title: Security Guard 1, Bad Guys 0 - Fast Reaction, Good Shooting
Post by: RocketMan on September 03, 2012, 06:14:54 PM
This video of a security guard (http://www.cnn.com/video/?hpt=hp_t3#/video/bestoftv/2012/08/31/pkg-security-guard-shoots-thieves-internet-cafe.wesh) in Brevard County, FL, fending off three armed attackers says it all.  The cops are calling it a good shoot, and even CNN is praising the guard for his quick reflexes and coolness under stress.

eta: Fixed the link.

I think the link is wrong. I get a video for a different story.

The correct video is in the link below.  
Very quick reactions by the guard.  He saw what was happening, drew, and fired almost before the crooks got inside

kept moving used some of what lil cover was available and steadily improved his position.
and good deal on them not releasing his name. i don't understand bleeping out the name of the guy he shot though, unless he already gave up his buds names

Makes you wonder what goes on in them that they are targeted that much and need security gaurds.

Damn fine shooting, too.  Someone's been practicing.

His movement is what really impressed me. Draw and move for clear shot, shoot on the move while creating distance, and move to cover. Perfect.
