Man Fatally Shot by Kelso Police
Kelso, WA - The man shot and killed by a police officer Wednesday in Kelso has been identified as a 27-year-old homeless man who has connections to Spokane.
A Kelso police officer fatally shot Omer Ismail Ali after Ali allegedly attacked a gas station clerk, customer and the officer with a walking stick, the Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office said in a news release.
Ali died of a gunshot wound to the chest, according to the results of an autopsy performed Friday.
Ali, who immigrated to the U.S. from Sudan as a refugee in 2013, also suffered a "gunshot wound of the jaw and neck," deputies said.

Must be more to the story. A walking stick would imply he couldn’t walk very well and I can’t imagine him overpowering 3 men if that were the case.
Something’ missing.
FORGET IT!!!! WATCHED THE VIDEO!!!!!
RIGHTEOUS KILL!!!!

Walking stick aka club

The cop showed restraint until he was pursued by a man with a weapon and beaten hallway around the store.
Officer shoots attacker in self-defense.

We concur on the club
I wrote no. 4!!! He was gonna KILL that cop!!
That’s what i get for not opening the article first
sorry didn’t look at the poster.
No sorries needed. I’m the one who shot my mouth off before looking!!
It was a Buford Pusser “walking” stick. And used in the same way
“A walking stick would imply he couldn’t walk very well “
He walks just fine, watch the videos. He’s using that ‘walking stick’ as a club, not a crutch.
If the bum had been white, the story wouldn’t even have made it national.
See my post no. 4. Should have kept my mouth shut till i opened the link!!!
But it’s every FReeper’’s God given right to comment before opening the link.
Sometimes before even reading the headline :)
