Two brothers called 911 around
2:40 p.m. Monday to report that a suspect shot them with a handgun after they
were in a fight in a town house in Herndon.
The brothers escaped and drove
themselves to the hospital for treatment, and the suspect took a hostage in the
house.
Police responded to the scene and
while they attempted to negotiate, the suspect set fire to the town house and
continued to shoot a handgun.
The blaze grew to a two-alarm
fire and the hostage called police and said he couldn’t breathe.
Repeated attempts to coax the
suspect from the house were unsuccessful, and the suspect eventually left the
house with a knife in his hand.
After attempts to disarm the
suspect with a Taser and rubber bullets, an officer shot the suspect dead.
They tasered him and shot him
with rubber bullets, had him surrounded and decided the best way to end was to
shoot this apparently insane man to death?
Don’t wait it out. Shoot him to death and once again we don’t get
to know the cops name who shot the guy.
Something about this isn’t kosher.
