You don't hear a news story like this every day. Two bounty hunters allegedly posing as federal agents at an auto dealership approached a fugitive with guns drawn, as can be seen in the video. The fugitive pulled out a gun and shot both dead as they shot him dead. Luckily no bystanders were hurt.

I didn't hear any part of the report where the bounty hunters approached with guns drawn. If they had, I doubt the fugitive would have been able to put shots on both targets with two guns already drawn on him unless they were much less competent with their firearms than would have been commensurate with their line of work and/or the fugitive was an exceptionally quick and expert marksman.

Moving in to arrest a meth addict with a history of assaulting an officer... in an enclosed area full of people.

Brilliant...

Fortunately, no bystanders were harmed, at least physically. There's some seriously traumatized people, though.

As far as I'm concerned...a satisfactory ending. Bounty hunters are scum..and need to be legislated out of existence.

This incident illustrates why...thank God no innocents were injured or killed.

You can see in the video they entered the room with guns pointed but they obviously weren't very well trained as they allowed the guy to get to his gun and shoot at or around the same time they did.

They were also not licensed bounty hunters but commissioned security guards. So they broke numerous laws here. Not wearing uniforms (security guards must wear uniforms at all times) and announcing they were federal agents (a big no no).

Do real bounty hunters try to apprehend someone in a place of business?

How much do you think they discounted the floor models with bullet holes in them?

Like a scene from a movie. And I'm guessing all the "participants" fancied themselves after some Hollywood persona.


My sympathies to their families.

They weren't licensed as bounty hunters in the state & they falsely stated that they were federal officers, according to the dealer - so the fact that their target shot them actually seems justifiable. Legally, they were attempting to kidnap the guy. These clowns may have been attempting to collect a bounty, or they may have been attempting to kidnap a known criminal hoping to rob him or settle a score. Sounds like nothing of value was lost, imho.. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
