One man was shot to death by Miami police, and another man is fighting for his life after he was attacked and his face allegedly half eaten, by a naked man on the MacArthur Causeway off ramp, police said.

The bloodshed began about 2 p.m. when a series of gunshots were heard on the ramp, which is along NE 13th Street, just south of The Miami Herald building. Witnesses said a woman saw the two men fighting and flagged down a police officer who was in the area.

The officer, who has not been identified, approached and saw that the naked man was actually chewing the other man’s head, according to witnesses. The officer ordered the naked man to back away, and when he continued the assault, the officer shot him. The attacker continued to eat the man, despite being shot, forcing the officer to continue firing. Witnesses said they heard at least a half dozen shots.

Miami police were on the scene, which was just south of The Miami Herald building on Biscayne Boulevard. The naked man who was killed lay face down on the pedestrian walkway just below the newspaper’s two-story parking garage. Police requested The Herald’s video surveillance tapes.

The other man was transported to the hospital with critical injuries, according to police. Their identities were not released.

“You oughta check out the audiobook for World War Z. It’s pretty good.”

Mega dittos to that, hubby and I loved that one. It’s great how they got different people to read the different parts, it’s more like a radio-play than a book.

LSD will cause the nakedness but probably not the violence. When swords and/or face eating are involved, you’re in the realm of PCP or possibly meth.

OMG!!! END TIMES!!!!!

Chewing his head? What sort of jaw structure did this man have? I note the studious avoidance of any description, so this being Miami I’m going to assume Haitian until information to the contrary is released. Some crazy drugs and some crazy occultic beliefs involving ingestion of body parts among vodouissants.

Or Japanese. There was an article posted a couple of days ago about an avowed asexual Japanese man that had his "giblets" surgically removed and then served them up to dinner guests.

Add “meth zombies” and “detox zombie” and you’ve covered all your bases.

Someone left the face out in the rain? /obscure

More evidence of evil (satan) existence and being an active force in todays world...even after being shot this lost soul continued to eat on the victims face...drugs are not the answer to the question here...

PING!!

ZOMBIE!

Or Mike Tyson.

My first thought was PCP.

Couldn’t we have a special forum for stories about face eating, eyeball spooning, and the like? So those of us who wish to avoid it may be spared the distress?

Too bad for the feller getting his face chewed off, but the comments from FReepers in this thread are priceless!

I thought so too, but don't zombies usually wear clothes?

They wear whatever they were wearing when the zombie virus took over, since they were quite ill before that most died/reanimated in bed wearing hospital gowns, PJs or in the buff, per World War Z by the aforementioned Max Brooks

Shortly after arriving, the U.S. Army was driving tanks down US1 to respond to Russian ICBMs installed in Cuba. (With autonomous firing control—at each site—by a USSR Officer!)

It seemed a proportionate response to our installing US ICBMs in Turkey, with autonomous firing control—at each site—by an American officer.

[sten]

just because this guy has an alternative life condition, doesn’t mean you have any right to discriminate against him and promote intolerance towards his race

gawd.

the right are just haters

[txhurl]

So what actually happened with this? I’ve been in suspense for 10 long work hours....

[null and void]

Oh, yeah, right. Like they'd actually tell us there is another zombie outbreak!
