% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
A South Tucson police officer responding to a “shots fired” call about 1:30 AM early Friday morning came under fire from a suspect armed with some sort of cut-down Mosin-Nagant.
South Tucson Police say when an officer arrived he saw a man and turned his car to check him out. Next thing he knows that officer is taking fire. Several shots hit his vehicle and one takes out one of his tires.
Police said the man had a powerful military rifle of a type the Soviets used to use.
The Mosin-Nagant design is about 120 years old but it fires a bigger bullet than the modern M-16.
South Tucson Police say their officer faced one sawed down to have a short barrel and stock.
They say their officer could not get to the rifle in his trunk so he fired his handgun and was able to kill the man from about 65 feet away.
