Absolutely stunning footage has been released of a SWAT sniper smoking a bad guy in Florida.

Sterling Alavache was killed by a SWAT sniper after taking two people hostage at a Bank of America location in South Fort Myers back in February.

Lee County Sheriff's Office released the footage of the shooting over the weekend, and it's absolutely wild. The sniper leveled off his rifle on a guy's shoulder, and proceeded to send a round through a computer monitor into Alavache's head.

Both hostages were quickly rescued by the main assault force that rushed the bank. You can check out the insane footage below, but be warned some might consider it graphic.

SWAT sniper kills bad guy in insane video.

This is one of the wildest police shooting videos that we've seen in a long time. Alavache was attempting to use two people as human shields from the SWAT team.

The window for opportunity was incredibly narrow. The situation could have ended tragically if the sniper was off by an inch or two in either direction.

Fortunately, his aim was true and he sent that round flying down range through a computer right into the bad guy's head. It's the kind of stuff you see in the movies, but very rarely in real life.

This is Tier One level shooting.

Props to the SWAT team for getting the job done and keeping the two hostages safe. This is the kind of stuff we simply love to see. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

Apple is geared up to announce many new changes to the software of its popular products including the iPhone at its annual Worldwide Developer Conference in California this week. Rumour has it there are big changes coming to the iPhone, iPad, and Mac with AI the name of the game - Apple is playing catchup with its rivals Samsung and Google. But the American tech titan might also finally let its loyal British customers know when they’ll be able to buy one of its latest products, the Apple Vision Pro.

Vision Pro is Apple’s virtual reality headset, even though the firm refuses to call it that. It prefers the term ‘spatial computing’ to describe the headset which can display VR experiences such as fullscreen movies and video, but also augmented reality (AR) scenarios such as floating computer windows while you can also see the world around you. It’s all very Minority Report, and all very expensive - the device costs $3,499 in the US, currently the only country it’s on sale.

But there are whispers this could change as soon as this week. WWDC kicks off on Monday 10 June and goes until Friday 14 June. It’s a conference where developers of apps and services gather to learn about how Apple is changing iOS for the iPhone as well as iPadOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS for all its other products. Though Apple is expected to concentrate on iOS 18 updates, the company could be set to announce the UK release date and price for the Vision Pro.

Macrumors reported that Tim Cook recently confirmed during a trip to China that the Vision Pro will go on sale there at some point in 2024. That’s a big deal, as Apple will have had to optimise visionOS to run in Chinese compared to the US English version on sale. We imagine it’d be less work to get a UK English version out, so the UK could see Apple’s latest gadget hit store shelves in time for Christmas.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a “generational opportunity” that could grow to become 10-15% of the S&P 500 index, Evercore ISI analysts said in a Sunday note.

According to the investment banking firm, Nvidia is not just a semiconductor company but an “ecosystem play” set to lead the age of parallel processing. “driven by an every 15-20 year Tectonic Shift in Computing."

Analysts posit that Nvidia's current breakout above $1,000 per share has "unlocked the door" for the stock to hit as high as $1,500, a projection supported by the strong performance of the Semiconductor Index, which has risen by 87% since October 2023, though still short of the historic tech bubble surge.

Evercore's analysis indicates that Nvidia's growth is far from reaching its peak, with the firm outlining a base case for Nvidia's earnings per share (EPS) power in 2030 at $69, and a bull case reaching $82.

This projection “could be conservative if 2030 prospective “start date” for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) materializes,” the note states.

It also highlights that while high-profile stock splits often fuel short-term volatility, they also “reset the generational buying opportunity, time after time.” Nvidia's upcoming 10:1 stock split is expected to be a catalyst for a temporary surge followed by a strategic buying opportunity for patient investors.

While Evercore views NVDA as a standout opportunity, it remains bullish on other “AI revolutionaries.” As the firm explains it, these are the companies “enabling the AI Revolution and those who have adopted AI quickly in order to deepen their competitive moats
