Knife wielding, apparently disturbed young man. I know, I know about knives and 25 feet.
Police are called to house for domestic disturbance - man with knife. Other occupants vacate before police arrive. Police approach house and man comes out onto porch with knife. According to witnesses, there were lots of police and cars there.
It will be interesting to see if it was necessary for two officers to be close enough to the suspect to need to kill him. He was a disturbed kid, I think 18 years old. If the police were too close and in danger, good shoot.
If they could have stayed back and called for better units...
Time will tell.
OK, OK, I don't know the facts except that MPD is involved in shootings fairly regularly. Maybe it's the nature of the population. I know I carry 24/7, so maybe it was justified.
