I live near this WM. From all the accounts I’ve heard and read, the guy was walking around pointing it, waving it at children and other people, and threatening them. He was told to drop the “weapon” multiple times and didn’t. After the first shot he started charging at the cops.

Who knows for sure, but the media is sure pushing the innocent man with a toy gun. I think there is more to the story.

As someone with family in local law enforcement, I can tell you the local Cox owned media isn’t getting the story straight at all.

I don’t believe that. It sounds like it was claimed that way, but it doesn’t seem to be true. You can believe it, but I don’t.
