Several of us here at TS have been LEO’s or at least gone through LEO training. One thing that was always drilled into our heads, if someone gets the drop on you and kills you, make your fellow Officers’ jobs easier by solving your own murder. make sure the fucker is lying there bleeding out next to your body.
Well, Officer Justin Terney did just that. While attempting to use less lethal measure, the suspect drew a weapon and opened fire on the officer. Officer Terney returned fire wounding the suspect in return.
