I guess they were not taking any chances. But, I notice how the story keeps changing.
Police were told to capture him alive. They intentionally shot up the boat including a machine gun on an armored vehicle.....I would have had 3 or4 cops sneak up on the boat and toss in tear gas grenades and it would ha been over
i read they killed the officer to get his gun so little brother could emulate his big brother. where did it go? and to repeat how did he shoot himself in the mouth where somehow it went thru his neck not paralyzing him.
