Citizen Rescues Officer: A Louisiana man returned to his vehicle to 
retrieve his pistol in order to respond to cries of help from a police 
officer pinned on the ground by a man he had just ticketed. Note (a) the

the 33% ratio for the officer, who was taken by surprise; (b) the 
relative lack of effect of four shots to the chest with a .45 and (c) 
the fact that the citizen specifically responded to a call for assistance.
