Unfortunately, not much at the moment.
The shot is still pending Grand Jury review and to speak publicly on same would be unprofessional. There is some internet chatter on the incident but very little substance.
Typical standoff with some maniac shooting at the cops. State Trooper took a very long shot. No hostages present I don't think. Nuff said.
Heretofore, the longest tru LE sniper shot was taken by a pal with Pennsylvania State Police. Right over a hostage's ear at 185 yards. Very squared away sniper.
A group of DC Capital Police guys lit up a fool named Norman Mayer who was sitting in a van, threatening to blow up the Washington monument years ago.
Many shots were fired, some from over 400 yards but it was simply a fusilade of bullets from numerous folks.
Worked well by the way ... just not the typical one shot stop
