J.R. Majewski recalls moment he killed Bin Laden

He fired 47 shots, all in his head.

Filed · 1616

WASHINGTON — Republican Congressional candidate J.R. Majewski has finally opened up about the night he killed the former leader of Al Qaeda and watched him take his last breath.

In an exclusive interview with Duffel Blog, the Air Force veteran and current candidate for an Ohio congressional seat detailed how he became single-handedly responsible for killing Osama bin Laden, the world’s most wanted man, during what he insisted on referring to as “just another day in the life of a combat veteran.”

“I remember it fondly, the night I, and I alone, got Bin Laden on a classified mission,” Majewski said. “I did a HALO jump in after the other team members' helicopter crashed, and as I was barrel rolling over to the wall to take cover, I told the guys — this sumbitch is mine.”

That’s when Majewski, who separated from the Air Force as an E2, took over.
