Multiple people shot at White Settlement, Texas church

I also think that shot was not a given.

Absolutely not. The man is a stud, retired or not.

John at active self protection already has a video up on this shooting.

Agreed. Low probability shots are a thing, and this guy appears to have put in the requisite time on the range to make one.

I thought the same. That was a hell of a shot!

I freely admit that exceeds my current capabilities on demand.

This is why I have been spending a great deal of time the last few years on long distance accuracy with a handgun. I started noticing more and more how long some of the places I frequent are, easily a good 15 yard shot could be possible. High stress, screaming people all around. That guy is a true hero!

That is a good start, but ensure you work it under time pressure as well.

I’m a big proponent of on demand performance,and kudos to you for taking the time to put in the work at distance with a handgun. As HCM suggested, employ par times with these drills. There are no guarantees that a defensive handgun engagement will be in the 1.5 to 7 yards range (internet wisdom aside), so being able to employ your pistol at distance is critically important. It’s not the odds, it’s the stakes.

I had to go to Lowe's today for something. I had to walk all the way to the back of the store from the front door. When I got to the back of the store, I turned around and noted that the front door was an unimpeded 75 yards or so away. Someplace like a Super Walmart is similar.

I was going to the range tomorrow anyway. I usually shoot at ten yards and in. I'll probably start at 15 yards and work my way out.

My prayers to the families.

Practice,get yourself into a good tactical course.
You can only benefit from it,you never know you might be able to save a live or few.

The other factor is get a good tactical medical course, or at least a stop the bleed course. One thing I did not see in the aftermath of the shooting was anyone running up with a medical kit to aid the victims.
