4 shots fired

Where do you holster a rifle if the guy just drops his gun and wants to fistfight. The semi auto pistol is the all-around way to go. Certainly if you have the missfortune of coming up against somebody and the shot is a long one then the current bustmaster most of us use with the night sights and red dot laser does the trick. I can't tell you how many times as a rookie I got stuck with the long gun then was unable to help out wrestling with a suspect because you cant just lean the long gun up against a wall and leave it there. Its interesting that the Truro guy and an orleans officer were sent to the house by themselves. I am sure Truro only has one guy on at night. Orleans probably has three on patrol maybe. I understand your thinking though. Like Hooper, my P.D. has come a long way in the last five years and we have some really up-to-date equipment that we have been thoroughly trained in. I find it hard to believe that the perp did not have a history of some sort.
