Just as a different take on that story...

Guy gets shot in the face in his apartment in Maryville with a "high-powered semi-automatic handgun" whatever that is - something bigger than a .22, anyway.

Then after getting shot in the face he drives to Alcoa where he gets pulled over. He takes a shot at the cop, who shoots at him through the windshield, "striking him twice in the torso."

Guy has three bullet wounds and gets back in his car and keeps driving for a while. He finally can't do it anymore and pulls over. But he's still alive.

My point? People can sometimes soak up tremendous damage from gunfire. The next time you see a story about someone acting in self-defense shooting their assailant multiple times, be aware that sometimes that's the only way to stop an attacker. Handguns aren't the one-shot death rays they're made out to be in movies.

I'm still wondering why the airport authority police were trying to pull someone over that was not on airport property. To the best of my knowledge their arrest powers end once off of airport property??
