Here is the latest from the El Paso, TX PD
Those living on the southern U.S. border are familiar with criminals coming from Mexican gangs. In this situation, three armed felons crossed the border and tried to rob an off-duty El Paso, Texas Police Officer dressed in civilian clothes while he stood in front of a bank. The plan was for two of them to grab his backpack and toss it to an accomplice on a stolen motorcycle. However, the well-prepared Police Officer shot all of them, managing to kill 2 immediately. The 3rd one was shot in both arms and bled to death before help arrived. Looks like he had his duty-weapon with him, which looks like a Beretta M96 in .40 S&W. It obviously worked to good effect, but judging from the look of this El Paso cop, he knew how to fight, regardless of his weapon. Note the proper "finger-off-the-trigger" on the 4th photo as he is reholstering his concealed sidearm. Always important, but especially so when you are tucking in a still-loaded firearm aimed that close to your important male features...
Final score:
Good Cop: Three
Bad Guys: Zero
