disturbed people with knives don’t have a chance against anyone with a gun, so...
Were circumstance such that the police had no choice, or could they have backed off and awaited the zoo or animal control personnel with the dart gun?
I’m thinking we need some options here to take some heat off the heat.
Wrong title. No officer was harmed.
“Police Shoot Knife-wielding Suspect” more accurate.
