ATLANTA — Three Atlanta police officers were hospitalized with gunshot wounds after an altercation that left a suspect dead Saturday evening, authorities said.

Officers responded at 5:15 p.m. to a report of an armed man in a commercial area on Fairbanks Street and encountered a man with a handgun and a knife on Desoto Avenue, Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said during a news conference.

“During that encounter there was a struggle, there was gunfire that resulted in three of our officers being injured. It also resulted in the death of the individual that was armed with the handgun,” Schierbaum said.

RuhRoh! Why can’t the cops just shoot the weapon out of the bad guys hands? Or shoot them in the leg? I wonder where this might go.

Biden says that they should have just fired a couple of shotgun blasts out the window.

“Once again you see that guns are causing harm in our communities,” [mayor] Dickens said during the news conference outside the hospital”

"“Once again you see that guns are causing harm in our communities,” Dickens.."

Spoken like the proper propagandist true nonlibs are.

The police department did not immediately identify the deceased man. Police did not believe anyone else was involved, Schierbaum said.

I wonder why. And they THINK he was acting alone. Too soon to tell which makes me suspicious. They’re too quick to jump to conclusions.

“Once again you see that guns are causing harm in our communities,” Dickens said

No, as G. Gordon Liddy used to point out, you could take a loaded gun and put it on a table and there would be no problems for decades (at least) if left alone.

We don't have a gun problem; we have a behavior problem. Where I live out in the country pretty much everyone has a gun, probably more than one on average. Yet, in the ten years I've lived here, I haven't hear of a single murder.

Sadly, my neighbor did have his tractor stolen right out of a field next door, but it wasn't taken at gunpoint.
