SWAT Sniper Head Shots Bad Guy In Absolutely Insane Video

Absolutely stunning footage has been released of a SWAT sniper smoking a bad guy in Florida.

Sterling Alavache was killed by a SWAT sniper after taking two people hostage at a Bank of America location in South Fort Myers back in February.

Lee County Sheriff's Office released the footage of the shooting over the weekend, and it's absolutely wild. The sniper leveled off his rifle on a guy's shoulder, and proceeded to send a round through a computer monitor into Alavache's head.

Both hostages were quickly rescued by the main assault force that rushed the bank. You can check out the insane footage below, but be warned some might consider it graphic.

SWAT sniper kills bad guy in insane video.

This is one of the wildest police shooting videos that we've seen in a long time. Alavache was attempting to use two people as human shields from the SWAT team.

The window for opportunity was incredibly narrow. The situation could have ended tragically if the sniper was off by an inch or two in either direction.

Fortunately, his aim was true and he sent that round flying down range through a computer right into the bad guy's head. It's the kind of stuff you see in the movies, but very rarely in real life.

This is Tier One level shooting.

Props to the SWAT team for getting the job done and keeping the two hostages safe. This is the kind of stuff we simply love to see. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
