An Arizona man who fired at police officers after allegedly stealing a bottle of milk from a Walmart store was fatally shot when officers returned fire, authorities said.
An employee of the Walmart in Peoria, near Phoenix, had called police around 6 p.m. Monday to report the stolen milk, according to FOX 10 of Phoenix.
The suspect was later identified as Michael John Stout, 20, of Peoria. Responding officers said they saw a man matching the employee’s description of Stout standing outside the store’s garden center, the Arizona Republic reported.
After parking the vehicle, one officer got out. Police said Stout fired in their direction, striking multiple rounds into their vehicle. The officer in the vehicle got out and fired back, while the other officer fired from inside the vehicle, police said.
The officer’s rounds hit Stout and he fell down, the Republic reported. The officers provided medical assistance to Stout. Police said Stout was transferred to a hospital where he was pronounced dead the following morning, FOX 10 reported.
Investigators discovered Stout had been using a handgun that was stolen from a vehicle on Monday morning. Video footage from the officers’ body-worn cameras was not immediately available.
No one else was injured during the shooting.

Precisely.
Another suicide by cop.
Man! I could tell you of many similar experiences I've had with police here in New York City, informing them of a crime and/or suspicious activity only for them to brush it off, for one reason or another, or pretending to listen/respond, then going off in the opposite direction from the activity. It has happened many times.
Ironic, I posted this article just yesterday...

The PURE study included data from 136,384 participants (35-70 years old) in 21 countries. They were grouped into four categories: no dairy (28,674 individuals), less than one serving per day (55,651), one-two servings per day (24,423), and over two servings per day (27,636).
One standard serving of dairy was equivalent to a glass of milk at 244 g, a cup of yoghurt at 244 g, one slice of cheese at 15 g, or a teaspoon of butter at 5 g.
Dairy consumption was highest in North America and Europe (368 g/day or above four servings of total dairy per day) and lowest in south Asia, China, Africa and southeast Asia (147, 102, 91 and 37 g/day respectively).
Compared to the no intake group, the high intake group (mean intake of 3.2 servings per day) had lower rates of total mortality (3.4% vs 5.6%), non-cardiovascular mortality (2.5% vs 4%), cardiovascular mortality (0.9% vs 1.6%), major cardiovascular disease (3.5% vs 4.9%), and stroke (1.2% vs 2.9%). There was no difference in the rates of myocardial infarction between the two groups (1.9% vs 1.6%).
Among those who consumed only whole-fat dairy, higher intake (mean intake of 2.9 servings of whole fat dairy per day) was associated with lower rates of total mortality (3.3% vs 4.4%) and major cardiovascular disease (3.7% vs 5.0%), compared to those who consumed less than 0.5 servings whole-fat dairy per day.
Higher intake of milk and yoghurt (above 1 serving per day) was associated with lower rates of the composite outcome, which combines total mortality and cardiovascular disease (milk: 6.2% vs 8.7%; yoghurt: 6.5% vs 8.4%), compared to no consumption.
The differences in the composite outcome for butter and cheese were not significant as intake was lower than for milk and yoghurt.

I saw that article. Thanks. Enjoyed a glass of chocolate milk last night too.
Nothing misleading in the headline.
A Shootout implies two parties firing at each other, it’s very obvious he wasn’t mowed down over pinching some milk.
LOL!!!
Two is that you don't have superior firepower. Because the police will get more if they need it.
Make a stupid decision, get a result that confirms the initial decision was stupid.
You better have a personal force field and disintegration ray if you want to take on the police with their helicopters and SWAT teams.
A teleportation device will be handy also.
Milk and meth...you don’t see that combination often.
You could have stopped him with $100 dollar bill and a stout brass headed cane.
Drop the money in his path when he stoops down to grab it.
WHAMMMO!
Modern day Billy the Prick. One less democrat.
His zitz problems are over.
What a shame. This was a future Nobel Prize winner (its standards have collapsed.)
Good idea, but he had a pretty good head start by the time I checked with the employee he had shoved to the ground. I had a pistol in my car but this isn't the type of situation that you could use it in without serious legal complications.
When I went back to the dollar store the employees had called 911 but said the police don't make it a priority if the perpetrator is already gone and no one was seriously injured.
The only meaningful damage I see here, is that the owner of the stolen handgun won’t be getting it back anytime soon :p
Meth addiction is a terrible thing
(meth)
Let’s just hope he has not donated anything to the gene pool!!!
