A real shootout...how it really happens

Take a look at this. An actual shootout. Notice the officer doesn't just a a couple and stop, take a look, etc. He shots until he thinks he's safe.

Video: Officer shoots armed suspect in cemetery 
Dash cam footage shows the officer fire several rounds toward a shed where the man is standing 
By PoliceOne Staff PINELLAS PARK, Fla. — 
Video of a highway patrol trooper opening fire in a cemetery after a man appeared with a gun has been released. Officer Daniel Cole is seen in the grainy footage aiming a rifle at a shed where Clifford Work appeared armed in the doorway. Cole fired several rounds, hitting Work — who turned out to be the cemetery owner — once in the leg, according to the Tampa Bay Times. 
Cole was tracking a signal from a LoJack theft recovery device on a stolen motorcycle, which was later found behind the shed Work had been sleeping in. 
The investigation of the shooting cleared Cole of any wrongdoing.
Good work Officer Cole. Glad your safe.
