Police officers in Irving, TX, are being called heroes today after shooting and killing a robbery suspect outside of a check cashing store. An employee of a nearby furniture store caught the entire incident on video.
Though he didn’t capture how it started, he certainly captured the way it ended. The first officer arrived on the scene right as the suspect violently grabbed a female employee of the Cash Store and threatened to kill her.
When more cops arrived on the scene, he tried to force her into his car with his gun. There was brief standoff before officers shot and killed the suspect.

What they train for all the time. Routine in their world.
good thing that guys head stopped the bullet from going into traffic
Don’t rob people
One less repeat offender~!
I credit the Officer for doing a great job, but I can’t help but think, what if he missed? Anyone notice, they didn’t stop the traffic going by. One bad shot could have caused a major accident and killed some innocent people… Heck of a shot!
i can almost hear it now…”why didnt they shoot him in the arm….”
Not in this case, if he had a weapon on her.
I would be one to say non lethal force should be used in some cases, but not this one.
The boys in Texas can shoot and they dont F around!!!
tis true and some carry it worse than others
Go thing the cop had a rifle…
The only way, unless you were some kind of Dirty Harry, not recommended with a hand gun. Though I’m sure there are some guys that could pull it off. If I were the hostage I’d rather they at least tried to take the shot than take my chances with a desperate dope addict.
Regardless of race. Well said.
