[QUOTE="Obi-Wan, post: 289239, member: 709"] You keep claiming LEO only had hand guns - [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Kahl[/URL] - granted this is wikipedia but unless you can show something to contradict it this is what we have to go on. [FONT=sans-serif]There is some debate over who fired first, but the US Marshals Service claims that Yorie Kahl, Gordon Kahl's son, fired the first shot at Cheshire from behind a telephone pole. The shot struck Cheshire in the chest, fatally wounding him. Yorie then fired a second shot at Medina police officer Bradley Kapp but missed. [COLOR=#ff0000][U][B]Kapp returned fire with a shotgun[/B][/U][/COLOR] and fired four times at Yorie, seriously wounding him in the chest and face. As Kapp turned from the downed Yorie, Gordon fired at least one round through the windshield of Kapp's vehicle, wounding Kapp in the forehead with glass fragments. As Kapp fell behind his car door, Gordon fired two or three more times, and a round struck and shattered Kapp's body armor. The fatally wounded [U][B][COLOR=#ff0000]Cheshire managed to fire off three rounds from his AR-15[/COLOR],[/B][/U] all of which missed. Meanwhile, Scott Faul, taking cover in the nearby woods, fired at least seven rounds at Kapp and Cheshire's vehicle. One of Faul's shots hit the already wounded Cheshire a second time, and a bullet blew off Kapp's index finger.
