Austin cop's sure shot stopped crazed gunman

It was 2:33 a.m.
He held the reins of two horses in one hand.
He held his Smith & Wesson M&P .40 pistol in the other.
As the active shooter terrorizing Austin came into view, Sgt. Adam Johnson took the 312-foot shot — and scored a center-of-mass bullseye.
quote:
The 15-year Austin police veteran helped stop the Nov. 28 rampage of Larry McQuilliams, a man who had blown more than 100 rounds into surrounding buildings as he menaced the city streets, armed with a map of potential targets and multiple firearms.
“At a minimum, it was extraordinary shot,” Army Maj. John Plaster, a retired Special Forces operator, long-range shooting expert and author of “The Ultimate Sniper: An Advanced Training Manual for Military and Police Snipers,” told Fox News.
But was Johnson’s shot the one that killed McQuilliams, or did the gunman die at his own hand a moment later?
“It’s not impossible,” Plaster said. “Wild Bill Hickok shot bad guys from a hundred yards away with a handgun, but he was also a great shot. I would say what this officer did was phenomenal, especially if he didn’t brace his arm against anything.”
quote:
“For a guy to keep his composure and holding two horses with one hand and taking a one-hand shot with the other hand, it says a lot about the training and professionalism of our police department,” Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo told the Austin American-Statesman.
Johnson, the leader of the Austin police department’s 12-member mounted patrol, was on paid administrative leave following the shooting.

I think this is lost in the fact that HE SCORED A CENTER MASS SHOT FROM 104 YARDS AWAY WITH A HANDGUN.
Nice shooting, Tex.

Sounds like that baw met the stranger with the big iron on his hip.

They're attributing that to training?? I'm calling that pure luck. That s&w m&p is a fine gun though. I shoot the 9mm. I doubt he could hit a man sized target at 100 yards standing still. It's a good shot no doubt, but still luck.

Yea, that's absolutely luck. You could have that gun on a bench in a vice and it still wouldn't consistently hit a person sized target at 100 yds

Was the guy that was shot black? If he was, no matter what he did, the cop is racist.

Black people don't go on mass killing sprees. That seems to be a white man phenomenon.

Am I dojng it right?
Oh. It was a racist white guy he shot? Good job then?

Look up this incident. Almost every article will let you know that it was a middle aged white man, who was most likely a pro gun anti-immigration conservative, within the first 2 sentences.

Wrong. Just to set your opinion straight:
quote:
The Beltway sniper attacks were a series of coordinated shootings that took place over three weeks in October 2002 in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Ten people were killed and three other victims were critically injured in several locations throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and along Interstate 95 in Virginia. The rampage was perpetrated by John Allen Muhammad, and Lee Boyd Malvo (then aged 17), driving a blue 1990 Chevrolet Caprice sedan. Their crime spree began in February 2002 with murders and robberies in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, and Washington State, which resulted in seven deaths and seven injuries, bringing the total victim count to seventeen deaths and ten injuries.[1]
