proximity he was to being able to do anything. The SS said "never" in any danger. I also don't know if the shots fired were just the SS or both of them. Let me just say if the SS fired at him and he ran off then maybe the SS needs some time on the range. To not even wing the guy? Why would you shoot not to hit him but just hope to scare him? Seems to me if you see a guy with an AK47 at his hand you need the shot to do more than hope to scare him away.
