UFC’s Tim Kennedy Says Florida Bank Robbery Sniper Didn’t Put Hostages at Risk

Former UFC Star Tim Kennedy – who is also a US Army Special Forces sniper – is praising a police sniper who killed a bank robber by shooting him at close range between two hostages.

Tim told TMZ that … law enforcement did an incredible job here to save innocent lives and protect civilians, and anyone who thinks the sniper put the hostages in danger by taking such a bold shot has no idea what it takes to snipe like that.

REMEMBER … VIDEO SHOWS THE MOMENT A SNIPER FROM THE LEE COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT WAS KILLED Shoots through computer monitor Inside a bank, killed a robber who was using two hostages as human shields while he negotiated with a negotiator.

Tim says the sniper used a .308 caliber rifle, and at that close range — about 15 to 20 feet — the bullet would have gone straight through the computer monitor and into the criminal’s head, and there was enough energy to prevent the bullet from heading toward the hostages.
