The above video is 8 minutes, 43 seconds long. Much of it is a little boring, but it does
include the critical moment when the LEO could have been shot, but beats the BG
with faster trigger time.

A drunken man wielding a handgun is demanding attention in a Logan, Utah emergency room
reception area.

Luckily there are some armed LEO's nearby guarding a patient. One LEO gently opens the
door leading to the armed BG, effectively uses a column for a bit of cover, and drops the BG
after the BG pointed his gun in the LEO's direction. The LEO fired 4x, hitting him 3X.

Even though hit 3x, probably with a proper defensive caliber, the BG will recover from his wounds.

Edit added: Language in the video is NSFW, not suitable for 10 year old daughters. Sorry I did
not add this caveat when first posting this.
