DGU- Brazil off duty officer shoots robber outside of school

Guy tries to rob parents with children outside of school. Video of incident at link

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... other.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
A bandit, dressed in a black jacket, casually walked up and announced it was a robbery while pointing a .38 revolver at the group of terrified mothers and small children.

The school, in the Jardim dos Ipês suburb of the city, was due to host a Mother's Day party.
Pulling her police issued weapon from her bag, she loads the gun then reacts with speed, stepping forward and firing off three rounds, shooting the assailant in the chest and leg as he tries to fire back.

The armed man falls backwards onto the zebra crossing and releases two shots in the process as he hits the ground. The first one ricochets off the ground hitting no one, and the second jams in the weapon.

Sastre quickly backs away out of the line of fire then goes over to the injured suspect who is rolling around on the ground in agony crying out for help. She kicks away his weapon before picking it up.

Sastre, who had gone to the event with her seven-year-old daughter, told colleagues: 'I didn't know if he was going to shoot the kids or the mothers or the security guard at the school door.

'I just thought about defending the mums, the children, my own life and my daughter's.'

And where was the security guard? Was he armed? Hiding behind a car?

What is a shame about this is that she had to load her weapon first.

I noticed that. Such bureaucratic half-a$$ery is annoying wherever it is mandated.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!
