Pistol shootout in Charlotte today

I know of two people personally who were randomly shot by strangers for no very good reason. One was shot outside a convenience store by a dude with wrist watches all up his arm because he wasn't in the market for anything but a honey bun and pepsi that early in the morning. On the professional side, there was a cop on you tube or video who spotted a bank robber and pursued. The guy jumped out and started shooting so fast the cop had to return fire through his own windshield. He made good hits and was able to get out of his car when said robber went back to his for more gun, a 380 fortunately, not the sks in the seat. Cop put 14 rounds of 45 into robber including three to the head before he stopped. Cop was shot too. He switched to a Glock 17 and something like over 100 rounds. No drugs in perp's system except its own...Then there's the 22 lr to the armpit stories too. Best avoid shoot outs.
 
The story continues, I have no doubt it actually happened. When he returned the rental car, there were police cards left in the vehicle.. These are the cards officers leave with you with their phone number and report number hand written on them. Member Appfan mentioned a slow service center, come to find out he needed a new rim also,, the bullet went thru the tire and the rim also. Cost him $1122 for a new rim and tire. At first I felt bad for the guy and was willing to forgive the rental bill, but when he returned the rental car? It reeked like weed, so his original statement to me " Im not into any drugs" was false and really pissed me off. So I charged him with the full $70 rental bill. When I tried to charge his credit card for a $200 weed cleaning fee, it came back declined, meaning a bad credit card. I think there is a LOT more to his story and there is. He had to get his Aunt to co sign for his $65K supercar because he has unverified income( Bad move on her part) so his story doesn't have any truth to it other then the getting shot part. So I'm thinking drug deal gone bad. Im sure the instigator is gone now and this guy is on borrowed time. I wont shed a tear when this happens.
