As many of you know, i work as a LEO for a local town. Tonight i get dispatched to assist the Sheriffs Office on a burglary in progress. There was 1 deputy out there, and an unknown amount of people inside. I was next to arrive, so i go on perimeter on the back door. After about 15 min, there are about 15 cops, a helicopter, and a dog, when suddenly i hear the back door handle jiggle. I thought to myself that i couldnt be that lucky, im NEVER in the right place at the right time, then the door swings open! I call it on the radio, and out comes this guy holding 2 butcher kinves....im already unholstered, and i draw down on him, yelling at him to get on the ground and drop the knives....he took 3 steps toward me, i slid my finger from the frame onto the trigger, and begin a nice steady pull.....i swear it had to be just in the nick of time, he drops the knives. I reholster and tackle him to the ground, then he gets dog-piled by about 5 other guys.
That was the closest i have ever come to shooting someone. I always said if i ever had to, i didnt think i would have a problem doing it, and tonight showed me that i could do it. I didnt hesitate, didnt think twice, it all came so natural. Good news is, im here to ride another day, and the bad guy is in jail. Anyway, im wide awake and ready for the next call, just wanted to share. I LOVE MY JOB!
