Re: Shot Fired

Let me be the first to congratulate you on your decision not fire the second shot.
1) The first shot was intuitively shot in response to perceived threat of deadly force that maybe used against you
2) You hold on the second shot, because the threat is no more. You selected the correct choice. IMHO, the second shot would have landed you in great trouble. I am not a lawyer but, you may not have been found guilty but the cost would extremely high.
3) You were running under an adrenaline dump, no question about it. You just described it correctly, tunnel vision, heavy breathing, fast response, etc. You were in full control because of your training and not because you were acting normally (no adrenaline dump).
4) It is lesson for all of us to study and learn from. This is one of very few real story of deployment of deadly force in an incident mentioned on this board.

Good to hear no was hurt and the loss is just minor.
