I heard that too. Sounds like a little glory stealing to me, great story to justify their existence, but who knows...that's their story and they're stickin too it. We will never truly know who took the bad guys out now will we? Today the MSM is nothing but entertainment ..... the content does not need to be accurate to report it and no repercussions if its totally off base....... but, you heard it here first!

From what I've learned about the Garland,Tx. shooting , the responder to the attack was a competition shooter
with a very high skill level and much experience. Seems most LEOs are only required to qualify with firearms
two or three times a year, this officer has show-en a much higher level of skill than a run of the mill line officer.
I glad he was there at the right time to take care of business.

As with most gun owners or LEOs 90 percent hardly ever practice with their firearms except when the have to, another 7 or so practice on a regular basis the other 3 percent are gun people and spend a lot of their own time and money perfecting their shooting skills.

Sounds like this officer is in the top 3 percent of gun owners/shooters who really care about their craft.
