19 Shots In The Dark

You see and hear a lot when you’re driving cab at all hours, but this is one I missed. There was this guy robbing gas stations and convenience stores for the past week so a call comes in about a robbery. A man is sighted leaving the convenience store where the robbery took place and there’s a car chase followed by a foot chase through a darkened neighborhood. The person being chased is carrying something. It could be a gun. The constable giving chase draws his Glock and sprays 16 bullets at the guy (15 in the clip and one in the chamber). Then, he reloads and gets three more shots off before the suspect surrenders. None of the bullets hit the suspect, who turned out to be unarmed. Police didn’t name the constable involved but they did say later that he wasn’t zero for 19. He did hit three houses.
