The suspect had been shot in the head and died at the scene.

At least they ID'd the suspect and the victim properly

But the police were, once again, telling folks to "call 911" and "Be a good witness", rather than defending themselves and/or their property.

From the link:

Instead, the Police Department advises people who suspect a crime to call 911 and, Tranter said, to act as "good witnesses."

Sgt. Joel Tranter is a spokesman for the PPD.

Pulling out your cell phone and calling 911, when a guy is trying to run you down with your own vehicle, doesn't seem like an optimum move. It would only be natural to take your firearm with you when you stepped outside to investigate why your truck was starting while you weren't there, so that you could be that "good witness", and be able to at least describe the perp.

“The suspect had been shot in the head and died at the scene.”

Good for him. One less scumbag society has to deal with.
