Shaun Cooper saving the world
Chief Tango sends us this story of an Army Afghanistan veteran, Shaun Cooper who says that he never fired a shot in Afghanistan, but when the chips were down, he proved that he could in his home;
“They saw someone walking down the road,” Cooper said in an exclusive interview with News 3. “He was wearing a leather jacket in the summer time. Looked out kind of weird.”
They heard a bang at the door, then shots.
“He was trying to breach the door,” Cooper said. “The holes are right next to the door knob and hinge.
“My dad was actually standing in the kitchen. He was firing through the door through the kitchen and completely missed him. Bullets went all around, except for him. Got lucky.”
Those first shots led to a gunfight.
“I took off, grabbed my gun and got back, and he saw me thorugh the window,” Cooper said. “Shot one more time, and that’s when I shot through the window, and he dropped.”
The assailant was 15 years old and a friend of Cooper’s brother, so they think the teen was trying to shoot the younger Cooper.

While I’m sorry he had to do that, I’m glad he did.
Good shoot. And a great Veteran, for being Honest and Ethical when discussing his time in a combat zone. More people need to admit that they were NOT shooting thousands of rounds a week in A-stan or Iraq.
