Civilian shoots gunman who is shooting at deputy
Haven't seen this posted yet, so I thought I would throw it up here. The civilian is the second video. Pretty good shooting by the guy.

Good thing that guy was competent with his pistol. First shot was a good shot.

Holy smokes, 165yds?
He said magnum bullet, My first thought is a 44, but I'm guessing it was probably a .357.

That is amazing! 
Not only should he be given a medal, he should be an honorary sharp shooter for that department, and any other agency willing to have him on their side.
His honorific name could be "Deadeye Vic".

Outstanding! 165 yards? Jaw dropping? Yikes! Think his bullits were guided from above, and a LEO gets to go home tonight. Gotta love happy endings.

A round of applause for this citizen. I can testify that revolver shooters I know can shoot amazingly well.

This is the way it should work. If cops need help, they must get it and if the help is competent, they both live.
The shot struck the BG in the thigh. I bet it was an aimed head shot. Possibly not as far as 165 yards, but a great shot anyway.

So he missed with a third of his shots, recklessly endangering the public?
Naw....just channelling GNG. Hats off to the Good Guy!

I'm not going to take or say anything against this man and his courageous act of valor, possibly saving this officers' life.
I am going to question out loud though, if the 165 yard bit has been verified? If so, that is absolutely incredible.
