Insane police shooting video goes viral.
The incredibly popular YouTube channel Midwestern Safety recently shared video of a 2023 hostage rescue in Ohio that is insane.
Officers in Alliance, Ohio responded to a residence amid reports that a man had cut a woman. The police quickly made entry, but soon found themselves struggling to breach the door to the room the man and hostage were in.
They discovered a horrifying scene upon finally breaching. The man, George Appleby, was holding the woman and death might be imminent.
Well, it was imminent, but not for the woman or the cops. A police officer with a rifle stepped up and dropped the dude with a point-blank shot to the head.

That was a gut-check moment, and the cop with the rifle didn't hesitate for a second. He *ROCKED* that dude with some nifty trigger work and aiming skills.
Granted, it wasn't a hard shot, but that's easy to say from behind a computer screen. You never know what the adrenaline is like until you find yourself in a similar situation.
Fortunately, the good guys won the day.
