Dramatic police shoot of prospective murderer in Spokane

From the photos provided it looks like this guy came came pretty close to getting a shot off. The officers were at spitting distance, his gun level with their guns. A split second slower in reacting would have gotten one or more of them shot. Good thing they were on top of the situation.

I read this one also VM177.

Excellent training and reaction on this officer's part. It seems like death by cop, huh?
If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you carry a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?
