[quote]COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) — A man seen loading a gun near student apartments at Georgia's Columbus State University was shot and fatally wounded by campus officers who chased the suspect on foot Sunday, authorities said.
No one else was hurt and the campus in western Georgia, about 100 miles southwest of Atlanta, was never put on any lockdown during or after the shooting episode, campus officials said. They added that the man wasn't a student at the school.
University Police Chief Rus Drew told The Associated Press that officers were called at 2:35 p.m. Sunday and arrived three minutes later to an area near some campus apartments and began chasing the man on foot.
"There was a short foot chase and at some point the suspect turned and faced the officers and shots were fired," Drew said by phone. He added that while there were some student witnesses, no lockdown was ordered because events unfolded rapidly and authorities had determined that an "isolated threat" had been removed.[/quote]
damn i thought that said "police man dead"
i wonder what his intentions were. mass shooting, personal murder?
Why didn't they shoot him in the leg?

No one will ever know most likely unless he's got a journal or something. My guess is either he was going to kill somebody and was extremely sloppy, or he's just mentally ill. Either way it's sad really.

No.

For the same reason they didn't use telekinesis to disarm the suspect.

I think he was making a joke.

every fucking thread

At least nobody asked if he dropped any good loot.
Also officers are trained to fire at center mass as the threat is more likely to go down that way.

would have been a shitty ass situation if they nicked his femoral artery had they attempted to shoot him in the leg

i havent seen someone ask that in probably five good years
forgot to add sarcasm
Suicide by cop. I mean no sane person would load a gun in public then run from the cops.
Wow, Columbus has a pretty bad crime rate though I'm not surprised. A few months ago I got an automated call about a possible armed person in the apartments, I wonder why they didn't call me this time. :v:
