MIDWEST CITY, Oklahoma -- A man was shot and killed after he snatched a 2-year-old girl out of a shopping cart and held her hostage in an Oklahoma grocery store.
The man removed the child from the shopping cart, held a knife to her and made crazy demands.
Officers spent 30 minutes negotiating with the man.
An officer shot the man in the head at point-blank range when he pulled the knife closer to the girl’s throat.
“He thought the child was being harmed and stabbed at the time he did the shooting,” said Midwest Police Department Chief Brandon Clabes.
The girl was not harmed.
Family members of the suspect said he had a long history of mental illness.

Family members of the suspect said he had a long history of mental illness. And
He wasn't getting in-patient treatment because the liberals insisted that actually, you know, treating mental patients violates their civil rights.

The general public will probably never know. Even the officer’s report might not include specifics.

Thanks for the added details. Captain David Huff should be commended. I feel bad for the mother and daughter for having to go through such a traumatic experience.
I wonder if the below mindset in anyway motivated the perp...
