Way to go! I can only imagine how scared this couple must have been. Everything worked out in the best way possible though.

Must have missed the bumpersticker that said " Don't mess with Texas".

Story says the shooter was a sheriff's deputy. Sounds like his LEO training paid off.

I wonder how many people with only a single CHP class (or less) could successfully take on two armed and dangerous bank robbers? Not many I bet. Paper targets, are much different than armed felons.

Well, He was a Reserve Officer it says. My Dad was a Reserve Officer, not a lot of LEO training. I believe the statement "Calmer Heads Prevail" is what won the day.
Good read and Glad it wasn't George Zimmerman in Texas again.

Not the "best" possible way...it did say only one of them died.

Yes, that's true. But it says the other one is critical, so there's still hope. Too bad for their mother who might lose both sons, but maybe if she'd done a better job raising them, they might have chosen a more productive career path.

Reserve officer has many meanings. I have a friend, that is a reserve deputy for a Nebraska Sheriff's office. He also has most levels of training for SWAT up to and beyond FBI. Retired 30 plus years on a major police force.

I'm starting the reserve program for our Sheriff's department. Other than the academy, we have to have the same training any deputy does. Around here, the reserves is the way to become a deputy without going to the academy. You earn your training on the job. But when reserves are on the job, they have the same status/authority as a paid, full-time deputy.

It wasn't your friend that did the shooting. Lets just stick to what was reported. He was a reserve.
