Cop has one shot at 180 yards to nail active shooter

[Chuckman]

Do we have another thread on this? I can't recall.

I don't think his coffee got cold, he handles it that fast.

This cop calmly pulled up to an active shooter, put down his coffee, grabbed his rifle, and downed the perp from 180 yards with a single shot. Legend. ✊

Ladies and gentlemen, this here is the most ice-cold gunslinging lawman in all of Washington:

In the video they took him down in front of what looked like a construction fence or something. You sure you measured the right spot? Figueras was the first officer on scene, bot the one that took him out I thought.

heck it could have been 20 yards for all I care. cop was extremely calm, effective, and efficient. no hurried movement, no wasted effort. Put down coffee, retrieve rifle, dispatch bad guy. Like a modern day western film hero.

I've been doing Google mapping.... shot was not 183 yards. Not even close. Maybe 183 feet?


From video. Note "Mr Collins" and "Officer Figuerras". Figuerras was not that officer who took the shot, but we we our hero roll up to near where other police cars were.

Yellow circle is ~180 yards from down perp.

Still, proper badass quality ending to the situation.

Perp was on South Madison when Munn shot from the corner of S Madison and S 66th



That's nearly a block and a half

 

[CZfool68]

I'm close.

I am baffled, but that is likely a me issues. I don’t see the fence. And there appears to be heavy equipment behind the fence, not a house.

 

[Chuckman]

I imagine (but do not know) original distance was a guesstimate. Distance difference aside, cop was stone cold. Got out, grabbed his rifle, took a shot.

Dude acted like he did that 12 times a day. No sweat.

That dude was super calm, even his radio traffic was very cool and collected. You can tell the guy was a shooter from the way he handles his rifle and how it’s set up. That’s not a cheap mount at all. Probably invests a lot of his own money in his gear.

"Shot fired, suspect down." Not shots, just...shot. He knew. He never had doubt.

That mount is $549 https://gbrsgroupgear.com/products/gbrs-group-hydra-day-night-optics-mount-aimpoint. I would bet strong money the department did not spring for that.

Yeah I doubt the dept is funding that one.

Here’s the map…

Suspect (yellow arrow) Cop (red arrow)



The red arrow is in front of the house where he got out of his car…6611 S. Madison.





View from where he was standing…



Suspect was down at 6718 S. Madison.

Rough estimate is around 500 feet, or 167 yards.

The owner of another gun forum posted the same video as he is a LEO and that was his department. Said it was a 50/200 zero on the rifle and a 64 grain Winchester Ranger round.

Salute to a man , job well done and practices.

 

[DrScaryGuy]

yeah, i just watched the video and you guys have already covered everything i was thinking.
my mental narrative while watching:
-what is this, a starbucks ad?
-shots are going on and that guy is calm
-aimpoint and what freaking mount is that?
-shots are going on and that guy is STILL calm
-uhoh, he's taking his time...
-shoT (one shot) fired, suspect down, usually cops aren't that calm
-technically it's not a hard shot, but that guy should be a firearms instructor for the cops...

I was going to say the same thing.

Great work.

I saw it on twitter, somebody actually replied "is that what the right to a fair trial looks like?" WTF.

 

[Trevillian]

"is that what the right to a fair trial looks like?"

If your actively attempting murder at the time. That's exactly what it looks like.

Looked fair to me. They both had guns.

 

[Ferrisfan]

Far enough away that he was not concerned about the perp shooting back.

unfair, actually. perp had 2 ARs that could have just easily shot the cop dead at that range.

Speedy, "fair and speedy trial". It was speedy.

Far enough away that he was not concerned about the perp shooting back.

In the long vid, it says the officer was fired at when he exited the vehicle.


Perp had a .45 and a .300BLK along with the 5.56.

 

[Crazy Carl]

Any idea if the officer was former military? Dude was totally nonplussed about the whole thing, like he’d done this whole 2-way shooting range thing before.

 

[Oneofsix]

He certainly didn't seem to be unaccustomed to having another human in his sights -
Very cool customer.

I bet they he perp doesn’t have the skill to do it though.

 

[DrScaryGuy]

I bet they he perp doesn’t have the skill to do it though.

He should have armed skilled himself if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend go shooting at better shooters

Anyway, an AR is meant for up to 500 yards. guy was only shooting 1/3-1/2 of that. it's not shooting that requires a high degree of skill.

Zero and the understanding of it is so critical.

not from 0-300 yards with a 50/200 zero... aim for center mass and you hit center mass

 

[Cowboy]

Great shot!!

I read elsewhere that grapevine says he's a former Batt boy from Lewis, but nothing to corroborate.

 

[NKD]

You completely missed the point.

If he was unsure of his zero he would not have been confident in making that shot.

 

[Crazy Carl]

That’d certainly do it.

 

[DrScaryGuy]

huh?

 

[Crazy Carl]

huh?

Batt boy from Lewis? 2nd Ranger Battalion, Ft. Lewis.

Two things, one I can't believe nobody already said this, TANGO DOWN. And two, a NC two county combined sheriff's debts shot at our range awhile back for training and qualifying. They produced select fire AR's from the trunks of their patrol cars. I was surprised they were select fire and that some of them were actually zero'd.
