Re: I-17 shootout
Was that him blasting through his windshield (class 3?) or the cops blasting him?

Re: I-17 shootout
Looks like the first volley of fire was from the inside of the truck directed towards the officers...rate of fire looks a lot like full auto, or at least very fast trigger work.
The thing that always amazes me in these situations was that no one on the opposite side of the freeway traffic was hit by stray rounds. Also, feel free to close off traffic from the other direction, either Phoenix PD or DPS. I know these situations are fluid and it can be difficult to judge where the PIT maneuver was to be attempted, but a little collaboration with local PD would be helpful.

Anybody hear why they were stopping him in the first place?

Re: I-17 shootout
Because he was acting "suspicious" and "might" have a gun. Or at least, that's what was in the article I read.

That's the last phrase I read from news was someone reported him "threatening/brandishing" the gun.WRMorrison wrote: ↑October 30th, 2018, 8:06 pm Because he was acting "suspicious" and "might" have a gun. Or at least, that's what was in the article I read.

Re: I-17 shootout
Notice all the smoke. Must have been big clouds of the stuff inside the vehicles. (Something not shown in the movie Heat.)
Recoilless rifles aren't. Bulletproof vests aren't. Silencers aren't. Smokeless powder isn't.
Lessons for us: If we ever have to shoot inside a vehicle, we should be prepared for (and not surprised or deterred by) instant deafness from the noise, and obscured vision from the smoke.

Things are getting even crazier and more dangerous in the Phoenix area.

Re: I-17 shootout
I wanted to duck my head when I saw all those rounds heading towards oncoming traffic.

Re: I-17 shootout
I can’t stomach local news media, anyone hear how all those that were injured are doing?

Re: I-17 shootout
Yep,...it seems he likely had a surplus U.S. Gubamint M16.
