One man was shot to death by Miami police, and another man is fighting for his life after he was attacked and his face allegedly half eaten, by a naked man on the MacArthur Causeway off ramp, police said.

The bloodshed began about 2 p.m. when a series of gunshots were heard on the ramp, which is along NE 13th Street, just south of The Miami Herald building. Witnesses said a woman saw the two men fighting and flagged down a police officer who was in the area.

The officer, who has not been identified, approached and saw that the naked man was actually chewing the other man’s head, according to witnesses. The officer ordered the naked man to back away, and when he continued the assault, the officer shot him. The attacker continued to eat the man, despite being shot, forcing the officer to continue firing. Witnesses said they heard at least a half dozen shots.

Miami police were on the scene, which was just south of The Miami Herald building on Biscayne Boulevard. The naked man who was killed lay face down on the pedestrian walkway just below the newspaper’s two-story parking garage. Police requested The Herald’s video surveillance tapes.

The other man was transported to the hospital with critical injuries, according to police. Their identities were not released.

Prayers up.

Yep

[sockmonkey]

ZOMBIE!

My first thought was "The Zombie Apocalypse has arrived". Not sure whether to put on an aluminum collandar with a chin strap, or a football helmet while I await the zombie hordes' onslaught.

Son of 0dung0?

Hey if he'll eat man's best friend, why not man?

[HerrBlucher]

No, you cannot kill a zombie, they are already dead. Probably a demonic possession. Very weird story...yikes!

[Drew68]

The attacker continued to eat the man, despite being shot

That's some good meth!

Lucky for us Max Brooks has created a manual for this very event!:

ZOMBIE!

I thought so too, but don't zombies usually wear clothes?

The rules just get more complicated...now we have the "slow" zombies, "fast" zombies, and now "naked" zombies....

[mamelukesabre]

I’m glad they shot him.

[Eternal_Bear]

If they start forming zombie chains, we could be in real trouble.

[Nowhere Man]

Nostradamus did say that there will be a time when “man will be a man-eater,” just prior to the coming of the Third Anti-Christ and World War III. Dunno if this is it or not but it does make me wonder.

[Viking2002]

A naked zombie would make going for a 'head shot' really confusing........

Dead perp was a radical “faceist”.

[Copenhagen Smile]

Whaaaat?!?!

[RegulatorCountry]

Chewing his head? What sort of jaw structure did this man have? I note the studious avoidance of any description, so this being Miami I’m going to assume Haitian until information to the contrary is released. Some crazy drugs and some crazy occultic beliefs involving ingestion of body parts among vodouissants.

[RandallFlagg]

I have that in audiobook form, too.
You oughta check out the audiobook for World War Z. It’s pretty good.

[31R1O]

I read the print version but I bet the audio book was fantastic. My favorite stories were the ones about the downed pilot and the blind Japanese guy.

[HerrBlucher]

And well dressed Zombies....

[tflabo]

Some perverted fetish gone wrong? From face-seating to face-eating? One little misspelling and look what happens.

[MacMattico]

I guess what you are or aren’t wearing depends on what you were doing when you became a zombie... This was two men, right??!

[RandallFlagg]

Max Brooks got Alan Alda, Karl and Rob Reiner (all flaming libs, I know), Mark Hamill, and a bunch of other actors in it.
That pilot was played by Brooks’s Wife.

[bicyclerepair]

Debbie’s district?

[dr_lew]

It’s quite a setting. The buildings are magnificent and the whole thing looks like something out of COWBOY BEBOP. The surveillance video does not actually have a line of sight to the crime scene, which is behind a monorail track. You can see the officer arrive, and apparently approach the scene as described ( a very tiny figure in the video ) but he disappears behind the monorail track as well.

[Mad Dawgg]

Also the CDC has this Zombie Preparedness WebPage. (No, I am not kidding, this is real...!)

ZOMBIE!

Or else that chimp which chewed some poor woman's face off a few years ago got a shave and is on the loose again.

Waiting to learn he was on PCP, or Angel Dust.

Way back when, it seemed every year like clockwork, we would hear of some naked guy running down the street with a sword or some such episode, and every time it was somebody whacked out on Angel Dust. I don’t know if LSD makes people do the same kind of thing, but I’ll be waiting to hear what trip this guy was on when he did this.

The other man was transported to the hospital with critical injuries, according to police.

He's infected now. The apocalyspse will start shortly after he arrives at the hospital. that's how it always begins.

Oh, my, you are sooooo right. I hope we can stop them before they cross to my side of the Mississippi River.

..."overheating" and running off five-story parking garages or running into surf and drowning... I'd call it "Acute Cocaine Intoxication" After all, Miami is "The City that Cocaine Built".

When I moved to Miami, it was 50% Redneck. Shortly after arriving, the U.S. Army was driving tanks down US1 to respond to Russian ICBMs installed in Cuba. (With autonomous firing control—at each site—by a USSR Officer!)

Exciting place—I couldn't wait to leave! ==8-O

By God they are real.. and tend to support Obama. Observe the evidence..

[Captainpaintball]

After reading this article, you will be able to tell your children one of two things:
1. That today was the unofficial beginning of the Zombie Apocalypse, or that ...
2. judging by the comments section of the article, today was the day you realized our country is beyond repair.

Not good. Seal off the state.

“You oughta check out the audiobook for World War Z. It’s pretty good.”

Mega dittos to that, hubby and I loved that one. It’s great how they got different people to read the different parts, it’s more like a radio-play than a book.

[Yardstick]

LSD will cause the nakedness but probably not the violence. When swords and/or face eating are involved, you’re in the realm of PCP or possibly meth.

OMG!!! END TIMES!!!!!

Or Japanese. There was an article posted a couple of days ago about an avowed asexual Japanese man that had his "giblets" surgically removed and then served them up to dinner guests.

[Brytani]

Add “meth zombies” and “detox zombie” and you’ve covered all your bases.

[NonValueAdded]

Someone left the face out in the rain? /obscure

[Wpin]

More evidence of evil (satan) existence and being an active force in todays world...even after being shot this lost soul continued to eat on the victims face...drugs are not the answer to the question here...

[RandallFlagg]

PING!!

[matt1234]

ZOMBIE!

Or Mike Tyson.

[Malacoda]

My first thought was PCP.
