Let’s review….

An armed man barricades himself in a motel, takes out his gun and shoots at the cops. It wasn’t a maybe or we thought he had a gun, this was 100% him shooting at them, but AMAZINGLY with this guy they were able to handle the situation without killing him.

Just defending his home!

Seriously, the only good thing about this story is that attempted murder of a cop brings a long prison sentence.
