It's been four years since this episode came out and I wanted to share it again.  As a young officer I when this shooting happened and was always amazed at how well Jennifer handled herself and won a gunfight with multiple suspects.  Lots of great lessons learned for officers and well as anyone who carry a gun for self defense. Jennifer Fulford was a deputy sheriff back in 2004 when she went to a suspicious incident call. A child on the phone was stating strange men were in the house and on arrival she met up with the female homeowner who was acting strange. It turned out three men were inside committing an armed home invasion. Jennifer got into a gunfight with two of the men and despite being shot multiple times, she was able to take out both suspects. The third suspect gave up. Jennifer went on to have a career in law enforcement and now talks to other officers on how to survive critical events.

Pull Over Safely If you’re unsure about the legitimacy of the vehicle attempting to pull you over, don’t stop immediately. Instead, put on your hazard lights, slow down, and signal your intent to pull over. Choose a well-lit, populated area to stop, like a gas station or a busy parking lot. Observe the Vehicle A real police vehicle will be clearly marked, often with the department’s logo, proper lighting, and an array of emergency lights.
