POLICE OFFICER MADE "ONE IN A BILLION" SHOT

A Jefferson County, Colorado sheriff’s deputy was involved in an off-duty shooting back in January. Deputy Jose Marquez was visiting his girlfriend at her apartment when two armed suspects approached him with their guns drawn. He exchanged gunfire with them, and was shot multiple times in the chest and abdomen before the suspects ran away. One of the suspects was wounded in the leg and arrested. The other suspect fled and has not been identified. But – and here’s the amazing part – one of Deputy Marquez’s bullets struck the suspect’s pistol, traveling straight down that gun’s barrel and disabling it. Investigators found the officers bullet inside the suspect’s gun, blocking that bullet. Officials say such a shot is “one in a billion.”
* Quick! Buy a lottery ticket!
* The Force is strong in this one.
* Too bad it wasn’t the first shot he got off.
* Better yet, too bad these clowns showed up at all.
* So, what year is it in Jefferson County, Colorado? 1880?
* Where’s his girlfriend’s apartment? Just above the O.K. Corral?
* Officials say the shot is one in a billion? Oh sure, like they computed the odds or something.
* Why not go with one in a gazillion and get it over with?
* Can we just agree it was a very unlikely shot?
