Dad shoots man holding daughter hostage

Did a search and did not see this story, but sorry to Internet cops if this is a dup! Top Shot Dustin posted this on Facebook and it's a good outcome for a screwed up situation.

Crazy. Glad both the father and daughter were not hurt.

If he didn't have it before, I imagine dad gets full custody now!

I was going to post this, but not for the same reasons. This was a real life shooting where a barrier was in the way (the door). I've seen so many people post about how they would never shoot through a door, but I can think of many situations where it could be needed. This video shows that it does happen, and that life is unpredictable. Train the way you fight, and you'll fight the way you train.

Crazy world we live in huh?

What a great outcome! And the mother hired them to kidnap her own daughter? What a piece of work.

Good shooting! I hope the father and daughter recover from the shock and trauma fully

[RazzB7]

Good job, dad!

Well, the door did have quite a bit of glass in it and even if not completely clear probably at least enough vision to still be able to identify the target. That's not quite the same as the solid doors with maybe a peep-hole that I think a lot of people are actually referring to.

But damn, good shooting on the part of the Father. The Mother can rot in jail.

why would they waste helicopter fuel on a suspect?

Glad to hear the daughter is okay.
