#860 The Bloke Who Got Shot 14 Times - Derrick McManus

Derrick McManus was a South Australian Police officer operating in the elite Special Tasks And Rescue (STAR) Group. He held specialist skills as a sniper, diver and was trained by the military elite Special Air Services Regiment (SAS) in counter-terrorist tactics and worked in a physically, mentally and emotionally demanding environment. Derrick’s team had been tasked to arrest a high-risk offender, who was obviously not very keen on being arrested. He fired 18 times in less than 5 seconds and hit Derrick 14 times. Derrick was then lying on the ground bleeding for 3 hours prior to his rescue. How he didn’t die is still a mystery. To say this is a fascinating listen is an understatement. Enjoy.
