He's the kidnapper/rapist/who knows what else that took 2 girls in Kali.
Was reading about this and was amazed at the number of hit's it took end this (not counting the cut in the neck and hit with a whiskey bottle that he took). 17 rounds , multiple hits, got back up 2 times.
I'm wondering if the guy was huge? high? or lucky (non-lethal shot placement)? Were the rounds not effective because of placement, or no penetration after going through glass and whatever else. What are the sheriff's deputies issued? 17 rounds is 6 more than the law now allows the rest of us. I know, 2 guns. It's this kind of thing that makes me mad at the ban. Most times you don't fire more than 11, but every once and a while you need more!
Want to make it clear, that I don't think I could have done any better! Close range, reactive point shooting and not sure where the girls were (probably screaming). Tough situation and I commend the deputies for what they did.
Here's a clip of some stuff I read.
"As two officers approached, one on each side of the vehicle, the suspect reached behind the seat and rose up with a handgun, Chealander said. The deputy approaching from the passenger side saw the gun and fired through the rear window, even though at that point neither of the deputies knew whether the girls were in the Bronco or not, he said.
It seemed that Ratliff had been hit, but in an instant he again rose in the seat and turned and pointed the weapon at the deputy on the driver's side, and this time both deputies fired.
As the deputies started to approach again after apparently hitting Ratliff, the deputy on the passenger side of the Bronco saw that the girls were in the back of the vehicle. As one girl started to climb out the back window and the deputy tried to help the other out the passenger side door, Ratliff again sat up, aiming his weapon at the deputies, and both of them shot at him a third time, Chealander said.
