The sheriff who killed a bandit with just one bullet

There was once this county ruled by bandits. The bandits terrorized the county and robbed whatever there was in homes. Hence, every villager left the county.
Then one day, this sheriff was passing by the county and was blocked by a few bandits. The sheriff kindly told them “look, I don’t want to cause any trouble ok?” but the bandits didn’t listen. They took out a jagged knife and told the sheriff to give up his money. He showed his badge and the bandits know that he was one that was not to be trifled with. So they ran away but the sheriff knew that showing his badge means trouble to him.
Soon, the same batch of bandits came back and told the sheriff to come to the motel not far from the corner. They also told him to meet them at sunset.
So when the sun sets, the sheriff went to the motel not far from the corner and this time with a cowboy hat on his head. He walked passed the flipping door and saw the blazing sun projecting the sheriff creating a silhouette. All the bandits had to use their palms to cover their eyes to get a better view of him. Then a voice came from the corner “so you were the sheriff my boys were telling me about. What do you want here?” and all attention focused on the corner. The sheriff at once knew who and what his status was. He calmly replied, “ I was just passing by and I happened to notice that this town was ruled by thugs like you” then suddenly, the air in the whole motel became still and instinctively, and everybody knows that something bad is about to happen. But all the voice did was laugh loudly and the whole motel looked at him with a strange look. Then the figure came out from the dark corner and he wrapped his arms around the sheriff’s shoulder and whispered to him softly “let’s settle this outside, shall we?”
So the sheriff and the figure which is the boss of the bandits went outside and all of a sudden, all quiet on the Texas front and twigs started rolling west and dead leaves could be seen blowing towards their legs and then the two started giving each other looks that were potent. Then both started moving their fingers, itching to grab their guns from the holster and then suddenly both turned around and counted their steps.
1…2…3…4…5 and swoosh both took out their guns and the sheriff put a bullet through the boss’s head and blood kept oozing out of the hole that he sheriff gave. Then the sheriff lowered his hat and gave a cold and cool smile and then bursted out “from today onwards, the authority will take full control of this county! Anyone who do not wish to end up like him” pointing at the dead boss “ better gets out of this place!”
The whole county suddenly scurried away and this man was then knowned as ‘the sheriff who killed a bandit with just one bullet’
