I think we have a Darwin Award winner.

no JBT issues here. Just the utter stupidity of bringing a bb gun up against automatic weapons. I rule this suicide by cop.

SUICIDE by BB gun.

Another reason the anti-gun crowd will want to ban my Son's BB gun.

If it were me, this man never would have had the chance to throw broken glass. When the knife came out, my gun would go off! That's my policy.

One of the guardsmen drew his weapon and shot the man several times in the chest.

Nice grouping!

You ever see one of those BB guns out there? The really look real and a military guy is trained to respond to threats using weapons. This amazes me.....we give these kids guns, in the military, then tell them they can't use them.

Good shoot. Even if the officer knew it was a BB gun, many BB guns can inflict a deadly wound.

He had already threatened officers with a knife and assaulted officers by throwing a chunk of broken glass at them, which could cause a serious or even deadly wound as well.

The officers had already gone to considerable lengths to apprehend this violent criminal at risk to their own safety and the safety of others he might have come across as he fled.

Two things.

1 - We should redeploy out of New Orleans immediately.

2 - You'll poke your eye out ralphie!

It doesn't matter what type of gun he had, it was the act of pointing it that got himself shot. Nice shooting, soldier!

The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Just a public servant doing his small part to make the world a better place.

The guy is trying to flee the NG's hot pursuit, he goes and gets a gun (even if only a BB gun) and points it at the NG. Why is this anything other than a footnote story: NG protects public from armed criminal resisting arrest. Public unharmed.

According to Sgt. Joe Narcisse, an NOPD spokesman

Giving the glowing reputation of the new Orleans police, a lot of people sure are jumping to conclusion's.
