SW Indiana police shoot, wound wanted man who pulled handgun
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Southwestern Indiana police shot and wounded a man who pulled a gun on officers on a residential street, police said Wednesday.
The man underwent surgery following the shooting in Evansville Tuesday afternoon but no additional information was available, Sgt. Anna Gray, an Evansville Police Department spokeswoman, said.
Gray said two Evansville officers driving in separate vehicles recognized the man, who was wanted for failing to appear in court on criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and drug-related felony charges, the Evansville Courier & Press reported.
Police dash camera footage released Tuesday evening shows an officer pull up in front of an SUV parked on a residential street with its rear hatch open and two men standing nearby.
One man puts his hands in the air and walks away, but the other remains at the rear of the SUV as the officer repeatedly yells for him to put his hands up and step toward him.
Gray said the man removed his right hand from the SUV holding a handgun before “he raised the firearm and racked the slide.”

BZ to the pill-pusher, but I thought Steve Koontz wrote techno-thrillers. Thanks for the links, Gun Bunny.

Wait, What. You let a woman who was smaller than you take your knife and you ran like little child.
Bend over.
Wonder if the guy in Indiana was trying to sell some guns to Illinois folks…’cause I heard Beetlejuice a few times say that what was happening… anyway that is the only reason I can see for not having a round in the gun. He probably just put a magazine in the gun.

Too bad that the freedom pills dispensed by the pharmacist didn’t cure the ill. Sympathies to the family of the ‘putor monitor that is DRT.
