Every police station I’ve been in has barriers to control entry. But hey they get to cut another notch in their gun so its all good.
I actually read the article.
The Longview Police Department placed three officers on leave after a 17-year-old girl was shot and killed in the lobby of the station last week, the Marshall News Messenger reported.
According to officials, Kristiana Coignard entered the Texas police station on Thursday evening brandishing a weapon. Police spokeswoman Kristie Brian said Coignard used a phone in the lobby to call police dispatch and asked to see an officer.
When officers arrived in the lobby, she "came at the officers" with a weapon, according to Brian. Police did not confirm what type of weapon Coignard had, but Longview Mayor Jay Dean said that she was carrying a knife...
She came into the lobby, not past a barrier. She called for them to come out to see her. They came out. She attacked. Nobody knows how she asked for help, whether it was a cry for help in a hurry or a threat to come and get me, but I lean towards the former. A whole lot of options go out the window when the attack starts.
How many police stations have you been in ? And why ?
Oh. OK.
