AURORA, COLO. (AP) - A Jefferson County sheriff's deputy who was involved in an off-duty shooting has been cleared.
The Aurora Sentinel reports that Arapahoe County prosecutors on Wednesday said Deputy Jose Marquez acted appropriately when he exchanged gunfire with attempted robbery suspects in an apartment parking lot in Aurora in January.
Marquez was visiting his girlfriend when two armed suspects approached him with their guns drawn. He was shot multiple times in the chest and abdomen before the suspects ran away.
One of the suspects was wounded in the leg and arrested. The other suspect fled and has not been identified.
One of Marquez's bullets struck the suspect's pistol, traveling straight down that gun's barrel and disabling it. Officials say such a shot is "one in a billion."

And that xd looks like it could still function if you clear that mess.

You naturally point a gun where your eyes are focused when shooting.
It's is common (and sucks) to be shot in the hand and gun during simmunition training because people focus on the gun.

It's not too hard to believe. Hit more than half a bullet on the muzzle at a halfway straight angle and a bunch of shite is going down the barrel.

Took them 6 months to clear him for defending himself when he was shot multiple times?

Kind of Robin Hoodish...

What's really crazy here is that if you tried it under perfect conditions, that's an awesome shot.
It happening during a shootout is pretty crazy. Obviously he wasn't trying for it, but still.
