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.

ZOMBIE!
Prayers up.
Yep
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.
Hey if he'll eat man's best friend, why not man?
No, you cannot kill a zombie, they are already dead. Probably a demonic possession. Very weird story...yikes!
That's some good meth!
Lucky for us Max Brooks has created a manual for this very event!:

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....
I’m glad they shot him.
If they start forming zombie chains, we could be in real trouble.
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.

Dead perp was a radical “faceist”.
Whaaaat?!?!
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.
I have that in audiobook form, too.
You oughta check out the audiobook for World War Z. It’s pretty good.
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.
