Januári stressz

Végső leszámolás III.

... in Miami, Florida, FBI Special Agent Jerry Dove fired a Winchester Silver Tip 9mm-hollow-nosed round into one of the suspects, Michael Platt. This round severed Platt’s right brachial artery before it entered his upper thoracic cavity, where it collapsed his right lung and caused further arterial bleeding. Then-common knowledge was that this would have incapacitated Pratt because that one round was an eventually-fatal one. That means, by expert medical opinion provided post-incident, it was believed that even if Platt received immediate trauma care, he would still have expired. However, Michael Platt didn’t perish for an additional four minutes – after which he either exsanguinated or succumbed to a head shot administered by FBI Agent Ed Mireles during the closing moments of the firefight. But during those four minutes, Platt killed two FBI Agents – including Jerry Dove, and grievously wounded five others. While the mechanics or physical aspects of wound ballistics – how and why it took so long for the suspects to “bleed out” – played a role in their ability to continue the fight, it was the suspect's psychological determination that proved so deadly to those FBI agents.
