Isn't that what the media called Black Talons? Damnation bullets?

He was shot a large number of times, let's say 42 just so we'll have a number. The Sheriff (hisself) was interviewed by a TV reporter who asked why officers shot the guy 42 times. The answer was........ that's all the ammo they had.

It may or may not be the same case, but last year there was a guy wanted for murdering a cop and they cornered him in the woods. SWAT was called and he came out with a gun and they unloaded with their MP5s. He wound up with over 60 holes in his body. There were something like 6-10 guys with FA Mp5s, so really they just each gave him a burst.

I can't really remember the details, but I do remember that doing the math it really didn't sound as bad as the media was trying to make it out to be.

Long story short. If you don't want to be perforated like a colander, don't shoot at cops.

Sounds like pretty good shot placement to me!!! Any YES... suicide by cop!!!

...how long will it take the dead perp's aunt (since his parents can't be found anywhere) to cry on TV about what a good boy he was and how he was turning his life around after getting out of prison the last time?

Sorry, this just reminds me of one of those God-awful story problems from math class. <shudders at flashbacks>
