Matt shooting is going to be interesting.

Another possibility is that the media forgot to mention the other 27 bullet holes in his torso. Those full-auto's do tend to climb on you....

Um.....Sorry, but who gives a poo how he went down and why?
Could hardly happen to a more deserving fellow!

Another possibility...
There are LEOs that don't shoot well.
Then there's LEOs that do shoot well.
Honestly, I haven't seen any don't shoot wells.
I think Matt ran into a do shoot weller.

What was he shot with? Many M4 carbines have been set up with a 3 shot burst option instead of full auto. A single trigger pull fires 3 shots. That could easily explain this.

Our local police killed a suicidal teen several years ago who came at them with a big butcher knife. The officer only pulled the trigger of his M4 twice, but his gun fired six rounds.

In that incident people had also wondered why the young man had been shot so many times by the police, despite the fact that he had an 11 inch knife in his hand, and was only 20 feet from the officers and coming at them.

From personal experience with an M4 on 3rnd burst, prone on a sandbag, 3rnds in the head at 25m is impossible. Now 20ft might be possible, but even supported 3rnd burst is difficult to control. My money is on a controlled triple tap with a custom competition grade trigger. I know several LEOs who run custom setups.

Tactical 308 in the head one time would look like he'd been shot 3 times. Whatever, dead and done. Nice shootin.

Looking at the image that the local TV news station broadcast of his body, I would say that he had to have been shot from multiple directions, thus implying multiple officers shooting. There appears to be an exit wound on the left side of his head behind his ear, and another exit wound out the top of his right forehead.

How could just one marksman account for both of those hits? I think that multiple officers may have hit him from multiple directions. No doubt exists that his death must have been near instant in nature.

Where's the 20 gauge shotgun?

Must have been Oswald. Only guy in history to shoot like that

One to the ground and two to stay there.

He was a dangerous fleeing felon. It doesn't matter if he had one or not.

Police brutality . . . I'll bet the poor guy broke out of prison in order to become a better person . . .
Oh, excuse me . . . he IS a better person!!

The coroner just disclosed that Matt was shot three times in the head. While I say good riddance I am wondering about the details. How far away was he from the shooter? What was he shot with? It seems kind of unlikely to me that he was triple tapped. Is it possible he got Bin Ladened?

Heavens to Betsy. Never heard of Matt and no link given nor more verbiage. Related to Adam perchance.? I don't know him either.
Perhaps amend your op or let's ditch this stank.

Do you not have a T.V.? The Matt/Sweat convicted murders escape from Clinton Prison in New york has only been on every news station broadcast daily for the past three weeks including the fatal shooting by government agents of Matt this week. You must not be big on current events. Or are you a lurker that likes to stir the pot? It doesn't appear you have bothered to read the over 30 posts on this thread.

 

[shootnscoot]

No political talk but we can post pictures of people with their brains leaking out from head shots.

Alrighty then.

 

[RVTECH]

I wonder why any of this matters at all - he's dead, regardless of how and where he was shot - kind of a moot point now.

Indeed, and good riddance, says I. It's too bad his buddy did not meet the same fate.

Wow. Sure. My fingernails are to be envied.. pass the bon-bons and the remote!

 

[eliduc]

When you have a firearms discussion and a lot of it is related to defensive and offensive weapons and also law enforcement I think a shooting like this makes an interesting thread. There have been 38 posts. And where is the 20 gauge? Maybe they picked it up so he couldn't use it.
