Cop Unloads 7 Rounds and the Suspect Still Charges – Man or Monster? You Decide (Video)

[American Girl]

Excerpt:
A police officer in Indiana emptied his entire magazine — seven rounds — into a charging suspect, yet the man kept coming like something out of a nightmare. Bodycam footage shows just how quickly a routine call can turn into a life-or-death struggle, and how officers never truly know what they’re walking into.

The videos capture the intense sequence: the suspect refuses to stop despite being hit multiple times, forcing the officer to keep firing until the threat is finally neutralized. One clip shows the senior officer appearing to lose control of the situation, while the rookie steps up and saves the day with decisive action.



12 gauge would have stopped him!

9mm is ineffective.

.45 ACP HydraShoks are the better tool. Lots of stopping power and lots of damage.

From the video, it looks like a case of "suicide by cop".  I don't understand the 7-round limitation. Most police service 9mm's (including mine) have double that capacity or more.

I'd never heard of a 9mm with only seven rounds.  I assumed it was a .45 ACP weapon, and should have dropped the suspect with 1-2 shots.

It's clearly a polymer body pistol, which may have been chambered in a larger caliber (.40, 10mm, even .45ACP), but the stopping power of a .45  - even FMJ rounds - would normally not necessitate so many rounds on target.

The sound on the video makes me think it's a 9mm and not a .45.

I would expect a .45 to be a lot louder.

Also, it's good to practice the three-shot drill (it goes by various names) of two-in-the-pump and one in the noggin.

If he only had seven rounds, that sure sounds like a single stack .45 ACP. Question is what ammo, and where did he hit the threat?

Nine millimeter is okay, but shot placement is critical.

Kel-Tec made the PF-9, which was a dandy little back-up pistol, and eminently concealable. The standard magazine held 7 rounds (with nothing up the pipe).

The 1911 .45 ACP carried six, but I carried mine with one in the chamber, making for seven total.

Too bad there wasn't another unit available to respond that could have just run his ass over while the two cops retreated for 5 minutes.
