Tumble85 on November 18, 2025 6:22 pm I remember that. The guy was sitting in a chair threatening to kill himself, so a sniper shot the gun from his hand when he wasn’t paying attention. They always played the clip in those “WILDEST POLICE VIDEOS!” shows.
Thisfoxtalks on November 18, 2025 6:25 pm Was this the guy that said he regretted taking that shot because it set an unrealistic standard?
Jimmy_Broski13 on November 18, 2025 6:25 pm One of the coolest clips on tv at the time, at least to me.
JC1112 on November 18, 2025 6:28 pm Insane shot, even missed the cylinder prevent ammo cookoff. Probably not intentional, but even the perp agreed “that was a good shot”.
HugoZHackenbush2 on November 18, 2025 6:30 pm Statistically, the odds of that happening again are a long shot..

Conscious-Lab-7827 on November 18, 2025 6:34 pm When the suicidal suspect was being detained, he actually said to the officers as he was cuffed, “Damn you. That was one hell of a shot, I’ll give you that.”

SloCalLocal on November 18, 2025 7:06 pm The rifle is up on the wall of the police department, mounted on a commemorative plaque. It’s a Steyr SSG PII chambered in .308 Winchester (with a Leupold variable scope), for those keeping score at home.
WillHuh on November 18, 2025 7:23 pm Stupid question, but would shooting the bullets in the gun cause it to explode and possibly do more damage?

Plot twist he was aiming for the head

Literally just scrolled past that video

Lon Horiuchi is not impressed.

These grassy knolls are getting more and more dangerous lol
How far away was the sniper?

That looks like an RG-14. Crappiest gun I own ngl.
