ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) — A suspect in a domestic incident who was being treated at a Minnesota hospital grabbed a gun from a sheriff's deputy and killed the officer early Sunday, prompting hospital security officers to subdue the suspect with a stun gun, authorities said.

After the suspect was taken into custody he died, despite efforts by medical personnel to revive him.

I recall when I was a teacher and had a state trooper in my class for a week teaching marine safety to my students. At the end of the week if they passed the test they were given a boating license That state trooper was so aware of the firearm he had in his holster, that when one boy attempted to touch his firearm he grabbed his hand and in a very forceful voice told him NEVER to attempt it again.

So what was rude? It was more of a non sequitur, actually. You can spell your FR name any way you like.

"Several shots were fired during that struggle and then security officers were able to get into the room, and the suspect was tased with a Taser, and taken into custody," Evans said at a news conference. "After he was taken into custody he became unresponsive. Medical personnel performed lifesaving operations on him and he died at that time."

I wonder if the suspect's family will file a wrongful death suit over the use of a taser.

That sir, is an iron clad guarantee. More than likely, people who haven't spoken to the guy in 40 years, will come out of the woodwork to sue them.
