Do you need a better reason to keep getting as much training as possible!? Its not getting any easier for our law enforcement or law abiding Joe. Expecting to only have to confront a gangbanger or crack head with 0 to little firearm know how is no longer a reality. It is obvious the bad guy had firearm experience by just the stance he took when engaging. Later it was learned he served in the U.S. Army Reserve as a construction engineer from 2009 until 2012.
Note that during the engagement, bad guy was hit in the chest. He was found dead with a single bullet to the chest a half mile down the freeway. As you watch the video, you assume he is uninjured as he gets back into his vehicle and drives off. Just goes to show that a single center mass hit does not mean immediate incapacitation.
The officer was also hit on his side but was treated at the hospital and released. Maybe his vest helped, I don't know.
Thanks again to our law enforcement for going out day after day. It takes a very dedicated individual b/ it certainly is not for the high pay.
Oregon State Police Thursday released a dramatic video showing the gun battle that unfolded in August on Interstate 84 about 100 miles east of Portland, ending in the death of a Portland motorist.
The freeway confrontation lasted only moments, according to the patrol car video from the Aug. 29 episode. The video, released to The Oregonian after a public records request, starts as Trooper Matt Zistel stops a Cadillac driven by John Van Allen, 34. Allen had three of his children with him that afternoon as he pulled over near Biggs Junction.
The video shows Allen stepping out of his car and assuming a military pose. After Zistel repeatedly tells him to get back in his car, Allen pulls a pistol from his waistband, advancing on Zistel and firing. The video doesn’t show Zistel.
After shots are fired, the video shows Allen returning to his car and driving off. He was shot in the chest but the video shows no obvious injury.
Zistel radios, “Shots fired” and then moments later, “I’ve been hit in the side. I’m okay.”
Responding officers found Zistel suffering a gunshot wound. They found Allen’s car a half mile down the freeway, parked on the shoulder. Allen was dead, shot once in the chest.
Zistel was treated for his injury at a hospital in The Dalles and released. He has been on administrative leave. Zistel, 26, has been with the agency five years.
In a subsequent investigation, Sherman County District Attorney Wade McLeod concluded Zistel was justified in shooting Allen.
Relatives said Allen was returning to his native South Carolina at the time of shooting. They said the aggressive action was out of character. He moved to Portland from Pittsburgh. He served in the U.S. Army Reserve as a construction engineer from 2009 until 2012.
