Pretty lousy shooting, the cops involved need more range time.

 

[Texashiker]

With the amount of blood coming out of his mouth and chest, it was probably a lung shot.

The guy probably did not even make it to the hospital.

Blatant Police Brutality...Law Enforcement officials should have tried to sing Cumbaya to calm him down. They should do that for every hostile situation so that no guns, tasers or night sticks will ever be needed again...

 

[shiner]

happened 1/2 block from my office. I heard the shots and got to watch all the pandemonium out my windows.

 

[JSt0rm]

of course the cops shoot some random person as well. Tax payers prepare to get fucked by that guy.

Looks liek they shot a pedestrian so a little retraint would of probably been a good thing. But of course you are a small government conservative who gently caresses police brutality. Go gently caress yourself.

The article seems unclear. He sat down, and then the cops shot him?

I agree. Maybe that poor man was just upset he didn't have shoes.

I read it as he was sitting with the gun stood up and cross eyed mcgee fired off a few rounds.

In that case, the Daily Mail needs to teach their editors the meaning of "critically wounded."

Also for all you pro gun people - this man was gunned down for brandishing a firearm. Doesnt this man have the right to carry a firearm?

He has a right to carry a firearm, but not let off a couple of shots and then hold it in his hand as he waits for a response, but you knew that.

Troll, troll, troll your boat.

He has the right to own a gun and can carry a concealed weapon in Oklahoma provided he can meet the CCW licensing criteria. Oklahoma prohibits open carry so he was in violation of the law. Additionally it's against the law to brandish a weapon.

Oklahoma does not allow open carry. An open carry provision for concealed-carry permit holders was just approved by the State House, though it has not yet become law.

is the response to someone shooting a gun in the air to fire wildly at that person hitting other people in the process?

I said they needed more range time. My bet it that their evaluation in the small amount of time they had was that he was a greater threat to them and the public and they stopped him.
I'm curious if they were using newer technology ammunition like the Glaser slugs or a good hollow point, but that will come out later.

1974 is newer technology?

In terms of getting a police department to accept frangible bullets, kinda. There has also been a huge amount of anti-gun hysteria aimed at "hollow point" ammunition.

The sequence of events: 1. he brandished and fired randomly, 2. police approach him, 3. he points gun at police, 4. police shoot. How do you think the cops should have handled this?

Based on the MSNBC article the deputies fired 5 rounds, somehow that doesn't meet your description of firing wildly. It's also not known if the one bystander that was wounded was from a round fired from a deputy's gun.

He then sat on a cement bench at the plaza, according to local NBC station KJRH. Three deputies reportedly arrived moments later and exchanged fire with Dennehy.

One deputy was shot in the hand, Sgt. Dave Walker of the Tulsa Police Department told KJRH. The deputy is in serious condition with non-life-threatening injuries.

Deputies fired a total of five rounds at Dennehy, striking him in the face and body, KJRH reported. He was taken into surgery and was in critical condition as of Wednesday night.

A suspect later identified by police as Andrew Joseph Dennehy holds a gun as Tulsa County sheriff's deputies and other law enforcement officers surround him on the plaza in front of the Tulsa County courthouse in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Wednesday.

It is not clear if a bullet from the gunman or from police struck the bystander, who is in fair condition. A woman, who was not hit by gunfire, was "shaken up" and treated at the scene.

Thanks for the update, I had been under the impression that the police had fired many more rounds than 5. I was wrong.

And Magnum rounds was a bad word in the past, too. Oh, and 5.7mm rounds apparently are cop killers.

Or rubber sabot rounds.

IMO, yes. You open fire in public, you need to be incapacitated. Firing in the air, well...what goes up, must come down.

Everywhere that has a law allowing citizens to carry a weapon also has a law making brandishing that weapon illegal you fucking troll. If you brandish a weapon prepare to be shot at, especially if you wave it around at police but like monovillage already said, you knew that.
