Re: ANOTHER MASS SHOOTING - Sikh Temple in WI

dashcam video from this incident has been released.
publisher's main site, jsonline.com
current working link to the story

from the article:
Wearing black camouflage pants and a white shirt, Page stepped out the temple door and appeared headed to his truck when the two men spotted each other, raised their guns and fired.

After he was shot in the neck, Murphy pointed his gun in the direction Page had been running. Instead, Page circled back and came up from behind Murphy and opened fire.

<snip for brevity>

Page popped the magazine back into the 9mm, raised his gun and started walking again toward the officer. Lenda ordered Page to drop his gun. Page began firing, one of the bullets going through the squad windshield.

Lenda fired six rounds from his rifle. The second or third shot hit Page in the abdomen from more than half a football field away.
much respect to the responding officers. :tiphat:

from the small data provided, it appears that Page was either a formidable opponent or particularly lucky (his own demise excepted). he used suppression , decisive action, and mobility to gain positional advantage on the first responding officer, and was able to disable him. then, from a ~50yd distance, while moving, with a handgun he managed to get effective fire on the 2nd responding officer. thankfully the 2nd responder had a good shot of his own to counter.

EDIT: I likely over-quoted the source article. just to be on the safe side, I pared the quote down.
