With adrenaline pumping its hard to say how many rounds would be enough. Some people are like bullet sponges ....they just absorb them and keep on going. A few years ago in NYC a man was shot some crazy amount of times by the NYPD and lived. He was shot something like over 20 times.

Arik-

I imagine that you're right about the AK. But I meant that I wonder which calibers the cops had in their pistols. And where the suspect was hit.

I suspect that this guy's lousy markmanship went along with his yell to kill him. He WANTED to miss! Suicide by cop...Maybe. In the officers' shoes, I'd certainly have acomodated him.

Did anyone notice how long the backup lights showed on the suspect vehicle? Or were those brake lights? I think he was debating whether to ram the patrol car or bolt.
