KILLEEN, Texas (KWTX) - Texas Rangers are investigating after a Killeen officer shot and killed a man Sunday evening whom police described as “emotionally distressed.”

The officer responded to what police said was a psychiatric call at around 5:30 p.m. Sunday in the 1600 block of Carrollton Avenue in Killeen.

“Upon the officer’s arrival, he encountered an emotionally distressed man,” police spokeswoman Ofelia Miramontez said.

“The officer initially used his conducted energy weapon, which was ineffective, and then discharged his duty weapon during the encounter, striking the subject,” Miramontez said.

I’ve said this before, but they need to put more power into those tasers. They seem to not work more and more often lately.

A taser powerful enough to take down a 250 pound man on PCP, will kill a woman r smaller man. And, no, it's not feasible to expect a cop to have to twiddle with a volume knob while being attacked.

***conducted energy weapon,***

Is that a new name for a tazer? Names and nomenclature changes every few decades for some common items.
