This guy has reflexes that would have made the patron saint of quickdraw gunfighters Arvo Ojala himself proud:

Anus-pucker factor: FULL 100%
NOBLE, OKLAHOMA: Sergeant Joshua Lesher pulls over a motorist who triggers alarm bells by giving a false name. Turns out he was wanted in connection with an armed robbery. Perp pretends to turn away but suddenly draws pistol from jacket in an obvious attempt to ambush the officer. Sgt. Lesher KNOCKS the perp's weapon out of the way, draws his own handgun and fires, striking the perp 3 times. Then he turns around just in time to kindly warn the suspect's buddy that if he comes any closer, he is going to get the same treatment.
To recap: The perp had ALREADY pulled out his gun and was in the process of shooting.......Sgt. Joshua Lesher had less than 1/3 of a second to clear leather, acquire target and shoot. And yet he managed before the SOB even got a chance to let off a single round.
Earlier today I had made a post about the importance of constant situational awareness. THIS is exactly what I was getting at. Pay attention to just how close Sgt. Lesher had come to death or serious injury. GOOD SHOOT. Too bad the perp survived. How the fuck he managed to live after getting ventilated 3 times at almost contact range mystifies me. But this is Oklahoma, so that means he ain't gonna be getting out for quite a while.
