Hofstra Student in Home Invasion Was Killed by Police Gunshot: Officials
NBCNewYork ^ | 5/18/13 | Pei-Sze Cheng

The 21-year-old Hofstra student who was killed during a Long Island home invasion was shot dead by a police officer as the gunman had her in a headlock and was trying to drag her out of the house, officials said Saturday.

Nassau County Police said at a news conference Andrea Rebello was killed by police, not by the armed gunman who was trying to rob the off-campus house where she was living with her twin sister, Jessica, and several others.

Rebello, a Hofstra junior studying public relations, and suspect Dalton Smith, 30, were both shot and killed as he was trying to back away from police with a gun to her head, police said.

An officer fired eight rounds, seven of which hit the suspect and one that hit Rebello in the head, police said.

Sincerely hope this isn't true and that it's simply a case of NBC slandering another cop. But it doesn't look good.

The important thing is that the ALLEGED criminal was not hurt, so he can get a fair trial...and that none of the cops were hurt.

That is EXACTLY how liberals see it.

Then they’re going to be terribly disappointed: Smith was killed too.

Not Hurt? I guess. Unless being DEAD hurts.

Sorry, BobL, but you have it wrong.

From the article at the link:

“Rebello, a Hofstra junior studying public relations, and suspect Dalton Smith, 30, were both shot and killed as he was trying to back away from police with a gun to her head, police said.”

If true, given the number of rounds NY Police use to kill and maim civilians, isn’t it time to outlaw NY Police possessing weapons?

I’m not sure I blame the officer. He put seven bullets in the criminal, but the eighth bullet went astray.

The criminal was pointing his gun at the officer rather than at the girl, so that would seem to be a good time to shoot him.

Maybe eight shots was too many, but he wanted to be sure he got the perp before he or the girl got shot.

I’d call it just plain bad luck.

Or maybe you can blame the judges or parole officers for letting this guy out when he should have been kept behind bars for his prior crimes.

The student may have had a better chance if the cops were still having coffee at Dunkin Donuts.

“He put seven bullets in the criminal, but the eighth bullet went astray.”

Article doesn’t say what the sequence was. Could have been first shot killed the girl, next seven into the perp.

Cold comfort that the thug is dead. We await the race hustlers to come screaming.
