The individual reached in his jacket, which most of us would take to mean he was reaching for a weapon. (Yes, we know better long after the fact, but there is no way to know that in the middle of it all.)XtremeDuty.45 wrote:what I like the most is that you had the mindset to aim low to stop the threat and not to shoot kill. Good thing you waited to get your gun or this could have been bad. Even though the LEO wanted you to shoot you did the right thing by not. He may have justified you in the shooting but a prosecutor would not have. Great job.
He probably would have been fine (legally) had he shot the person; however, he saved himself some difficulty by not doing so.
