and plumb receives a special tribute from his fellow swat team members. they surprised me with pieces of the gun. wired them together as best they could and mounted it on a plaque and put it on the wall here. i always called it ice water in his veins. nothing bothered him. that s how he was that day. nothing bothered him. plumb credits the entire squad for the positive outcome. it was a team effort. i mean, they surrounded him. they contained him. and they made it happen. you know, it s a hot august afternoon and everybody gets to go home. it was a good day. the weapon away from him if possible. coming up, a bar room fist fight turns into an all-out gun fight caught on surveillance video. when caught on camera: shots fired continues. it s more than the cloud.
with the gunman getting agitated, the head of the unit suggests a bold move. shooting the suspect s gun out of his hand. i kind of remembered laughing and saying, there s no way they re going to do that. we ve never we ve never even discussed something like that. the three of us set up there at the time unanimously said, yes, it can be done. s.w.a.t. team member michael plumb, since retired, is one of the most accurate marksmen in his unit at the time. he and his fellow officers are trained to hit a bullseye the size of a dime from 100 yards away. you had to hit a 95 percentile. this is with a pistol and a rifle. if you missed, you were out. mike is a crack shot. he could shoot the eye out of a canary a couple hundred yards. if he said he could do it, we knew he could do it. the circumstances are almost perfect for plumb to pull off the daring move. between angry rants, a sad calm comes over the gunman.
the shot hits the mark dead on target. it peeled the gun right out of his hand. there was nothing he could do to hold on to it and split it into about three different pieces. his gun immediately just exploded. the gunman is completely shocked. he s just sitting there looking and he had the most dumbfounded look on his face. it was like he didn t know where up was or where down was. wood takes advantage of connolly s surprise and tackles him to the ground. i rolled him over and he had a little cut on his chin and he had little cuts on his fingers, i think, from a little bit of the shrapnel. i said, see, man, we didn t want to hurt you. and he said that was a great shot. douglas connolly is taken into custody and spends just 16 days in jail for inducing panic. did you expect them to shoot you? sniper michael plumb s perfect shot is all over the news.
