Gunman wounds officer, shields self with own son, 4
SWAT member shoots gun out of suspect's hand, ends standoff

A gunman barricaded inside a west Phoenix home shot a police officer in the chest Wednesday night then shielded himself with his own 4-year-old son until a SWAT officer ended the standoff by shooting the gun out of his hand, police said.

The good news is that it worked… this time!

But the downside is that the next time a SWAT team is forced to blow someone up, the guy's distraught Mother/Sister/First Grade teacher is going to demand to know why "he had to be gunned down like an animal when they just as easily could have shot the gun out of his hand."

Wouldn't it be funny if you poured about eight beers into the SWATTER and he admitted that he'd actually been going for a head shot?

I think that one would be more scary than funny...
