Shootout

I was in my small hometown and visiting some friends.  One of my friends got grabbed by a person who had just broken out of prison and was using her for a hostage.  A group of us got together and decided we were going to chase them down and arrest them.  I had a small automatic handgun.  We saw the criminals and I shot at them.  My gun was actually a squirt gun and did not shoot bullets at all.  I got a six shooter from somebody.  It was chrome plated and a large caliber with a long barrel.  We found out where the criminals where staying and the sheriff said we should guard the back door while he went to the front and made the arrest.  When the sheriff went to the front door the criminals came out the back door.  there were two of them and one of them had my friend hostage.  We were in a gully and looking up at the criminals.  One of them looked at me and said "The game is up boys".   He started to pull his gun out but I shot him real fast,  three shots right in the heart.  The other criminal started to to shoot and I shot him three times too but he did not drop to the ground real fast.  I shot one more time and the bullet was like a flare and hit him in the knee.  Then he fell down and made a long speech before he died.  The sheriff did not arrest me because it was self defense.
