About this ebook
"In this book are the stories of men who have spent nerve-wracking hours on blistering hot rooftops and in dark, freezing cold rooms...for when the clock begins ticking down to the point where an innocent life may be lost, the single well[-aimed of the police sniper becomes the shot that saves lives" GySgt Carlos Hathcock USMC, Ret.
When a desperate criminal takes innocent hostages, police SWAT teams must walk a tight-rope of fear. Patience, negotiations, and tactics often fail in the face of an irrational killer. That is when the deadly cool of the police sniper must put an end to the terror. But the precision marksman only gets one chance--one squeeze of the trigger--and a miss can be more fatal than a ht, costing innocent lives.
With gripping first-hand accounts of actual hostage situations, Police Sniper takes us to the charged scenes of police emergency call-outs. Author Craig Roberts (co-author of "One Shot--One Kill: America's Combat Snipers" and "Crosshairs on the Kill Zone"), himself a former military and police SWAT team sniper, takes us to the scenes...
