Tough Cop: Mike Chitwood vs. the "Scumbags" book found on amazon.com

Their intensive drug raid had the pusher cornered, barricaded
behind the other side of a locked door. Mike Chitwood called on him
to surrender. Suddenly a shot exploded through the door, hitting
Chitwood s partner, who fell seriously injured into his arms. Then
a second shot rang out, narrowly missing Chitwood s head. Enraged,

the pusher threw out his gun and emerged, but he was holding a baby
as a shield. Suppressing the instinct to rub out the scumbag,
Chitwood gritted his teeth and took him in. Suppose his shot had
killed the child? Thinking it through changed Chitwood s life.
