NYPD Takes down criminal with one shot

[ewrski]

Not all NYPD cops are bad shots. First month on the job for the cop though, must be tough on him. But good shooting on his part. Can anyone ID the gun that the bad guy was carrying?

Looks like an Astra.

Yup, looks like an Astra A100.

Here's the NY Post story on the incident. It identifies the pistol clearly.

Take special note of the last sentence in the story!

Douse had a court appearance scheduled for Aug. 23, for weapons possession, records show.

so they picked it up, unloaded it, and put it back down in the blood stained pavement?

Just the kind of thing you want to be faced up against. A 14 year old boy with a gun on your first month. That's a great mind fuck.

We need to do a count down for when the mother claims young (SHAALIVER) was on his way to church when NYDP ambushed her young Nobel prize winning yute. On a side note his parent needs a punch in the head for naming her son with that f'd up name.

Jesus, 14 year old's with guns nowadays.
Sorry to say, but it's better off with scum like that off the streets.
Just imagine what he would be doing when he's around 20.

Douse refused and one of the officers fired one round, striking the gunman in the jaw

He took the head shot..............

Just imagine what he would be doing when he's around 20.

probably around 25 to life, if not for operation impact.
