The gunman eventually died from the encounter. During a four-second shootout, Baldwin reportedly hit the gunman 10 times. Under life-or-death duress, Baldwin clearly put good training to work.

Baldwin told the NRA, “As soon as I started engaging the first person, the second guy realized that I had a firearm, and I was there to fight to make sure I made it home to my family. That struck fear into his heart, and he ran as fast as he could in the opposite direction because he wasn’t there to get into a gunfight — getting in a gunfight was not on his to-do list.”
