Damn that's crazy. He asked for it though.
I wonder what the context behind this was? Was that chick he was holding hostage related to him? I wonder about that chick crying. That dude was crazy. I've always wondered how someone could or why they would do something like this.

Nice shot in a intense situation. Ultra clutch

I can assure you that's not an easy shot

Narration was great too bad he didn't have a better recording device. I think my first Blackberry had a better camera than that.

The other 2 girls crying, from what I recall the news saying were eyewitnesses.

Exactly. That was not an easy shot at all, considering nerves, consequences and timing.

Cliff notes: hostage taker is shot, drops behind the car, narrator in typical black dialect says, "dayuuuum.....ooooooo........shite......oooooo.....dayuuuum....shot dat muthafricker.....oooooo". Stop watching after the first 40 seconds..... But, great accurate shot on a POS....

That shot saved the state hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees prosecuting and defending the guy and incarcerating him for years.

This. You have to know a lot of variables.
What is involved in police sniper testing? Military background? Confirmed kill? What's the qualification test like?"
Got to know a lot of things before being put in that situation?

But the dude was suspected of robbing that cash stores. If he had 2 family members present with him, I'd imagine they would have been arrested as well on the spot.

Cop must have been pretty confident in his shot

Ahhh this is about 5 min away from work. How did I miss this??!!!! Anyways, Texas cops don't play man. Esp in DFW.

Plus, at that distance the sights and barrel on an AR aren't lined up so you have to compensate for that as well. Plus that guy free-handed the shot too. Wasn't propped up on anything.

That guy doesn't have to be a trained sniper to take that shot.

Watched again. Just realized he was the guy to the left. I also have no idea how long this took to unfold? The guy just started his video, so I guess not long.
He was leaning against the car. Did he have his arm braced on the side mirror? Tough shot. Plus highway behind the target? Ballsy shot, or that guy was escalating quickly and he knew he needed to take the shot for whatever reason.
