Gravely wounded, Rachel Morgan fell backwards onto the snowy ground.
It could have been over within seconds. All Michael Carmody had to do was step out of his car and forever have his name tagged with the modifier “cop killer.”
But Rachel Morgan didn’t get this far, didn't work in a jail and as a dispatcher before landing her dream job, by backing down from a challenge.
Somehow, with two bullets in her and bleeding in the snow, she gripped her gun and with her left index finger unloaded 13 shots into Carmody's door, sending fragments into his legs. Soon Carmody, drunk on vodka, with no chance of escape and Officer Ryan Hayo closing in fast, put his gun under his chin and fired what turned out to be a fatal shot.
