Harrowing footage shows an incident in which Argentinian police had to shoot a violent armed assailant multiple times at close range before he was brought down. The exact details of the situation aren't known but the video begins as a scuffle between an officer and the suspect is already in progress.
A responding officer parries multiple times as the suspect flails a knife toward him. Another officer sees a window of opportunity and fires a single shot. It's not clear if the perpetrator was hit, but it creates space between the suspect and the officer that was being attacked.
There officers then shout commands, giving the man one more opportunity at life, but he charges again, and this time the officers don't hold back. At least three cops open fire and up to 20 shots are heard before the man is finally subdued.
Many factors may have been attributed to the ineffectiveness of the shots. It's possible several bullets missed their intended target. It's also possible that the bullets that did hit the man were not placed in vital areas. Additionally, the mental status of the suspect likely played a large role as well. He was certainly pumped full of adrenaline and possibly on mind altering drugs.
