Greenwood PD said a review of surveillance video shows the suspect began firing at 5:56:48.
At 5:57:03 p.m., Elisjsha Dicken, an armed bystander, fired on the shooter from 40 yards away, according to police. Within 15 seconds from when the shooting began, Dicken fired 10 rounds hitting the shooter as the shooter tried to retreat into the bathroom but collapsed and died.
An autopsy found the shooter was shot eight times and none were self-inflicted.
Eight quick solid hits of ten rounds fired on a non-stationary target at a range of forty yards outside of a square range is some very impressive shooting.
He had a fast OODA loop.
ReplyDelete1. Observe: The first step is to identify the problem or threat and gain an overall understanding of the internal and external environment.
2. Orient: The orientation phase involves reflecting on what has been found during observations and considering what should be done next. It requires a significant level of situational awareness and understanding in order to make a conscious decision. Since some decisions are unconscious, or instinctual, this step involves considering what and why decisions are made prior to choosing a course of action. When applied on an individual level, the orientation step can be done by creating mental models or mental rehearsal drills to place information into narratives that shape judgement.
3. Decide: The decision phase makes suggestions towards an action or response plan, taking into consideration all of the potential outcomes.
4. Act: Action pertains to carrying out the decision and related changes that need to be made in response to the decision.
This is the short version. The complete one is here
Assuming 40 yards, the circumferance of the circle is 251.33 yards, so 1 degree of that circle is about 0.7 yards, or ~25.1". The average human male is likely covering about that 1 degree at 40 yards, or around 17.7 mils. Your average pistol red dot sight has somewhere between a 1 and 2 mil dot, with the result being the lad was holding very accurately, as the moving target was likely no more than 10-12 dots wide...and thats assuming he wasn't holding on target with open sights. That's damn fine shooting for what is now clearly stated as no training!
ReplyDeleteHas there been any word on the make and caliber of his gun, or if he was using optics?
ReplyDeleteWord in the firearms world is that Mr. Dicken was carrying a Glock 19 with iron sights.
