Police show video of ISIS mall attacker's fatal encounter with off-duty officer

- Here's the Update -

Officer who stopped St. Cloud mall stabbing spree awarded Congressional Badge of Bravery

A few reminders

- The officer was off duty but carrying. Always carry!

- The bad guy dressed himself in a mall security guard outfit to blend in

- The officer shot him multiple times...the bad guy kept getting up. Always shoot til they are stopped!



ST. CLOUD, Minn. — As he gazed out at the room full of dignitaries there to honor him, Jason Falconer looked like he’d rather be anywhere else.

The part-time police officer from Avon, Minn., sat stoically as two U.S. senators, a congressman and a couple of police chiefs sang his praises.

His jaw flexed rhythmically as he slowly chewed a piece of gum, and a red flush crept up his neck and into his cheeks.

Finally, Falconer stood and became the first Minnesota police officer ever to receive the Congressional Badge of Bravery.

“I kinda thought it was all said and done, and then we had this,” Falconer said as the room broke into laughter.

“I’ve been avoiding the media. So, media, this is what you get. It’s over, done. We move on.”

Jason is the man. I've know him for years as we used to play hockey together. He also owns a great gun range that isn't far from my house.

Nice work Sir.

I like the part where the perp runs backwards so it looks like a bad shoot, in his mind, if he's shot in the back.

six hits- head, chest, side, back, and left leg (wikipedia "fact") it is amazing how much a body can take, or at least how long it can keep going.

Officer Falconer has warrior written all across him. Kudos to him for a Job Well Done. You made us proud.
