he shouted to police around 1:20 p.m. that he would not go back to prison and would not be taken alive. At that point an officer, apparently armed with a rifle, shot and killed the man

"Your choice" I guess.

Humm

Looks like the cops applied rule 308.

Have you no compassion for your fellow man? Do you know how many lawyers will go to bed hungry tonight...and for years to come...because this poor wretch was taken out?

...the suspect held onto the woman, a gun to her head as he shouted to police ... that he would not go back to prison and would not be taken alive...

At that point an officer, apparently armed with a rifle, shot and killed the man as he stood with the hostage in the front doorway.

Apparently their motto is: "We Aim To Please".

Jayme Chilbert ... said she heard police yell to the gunman, "Drop the weapon. Release the hostage."

Next, Chilbert said, she heard one shot, then quiet. The perp was probably expecting a stand off by liberal hand-wringing politician types unwilling to give the officer the green light to shoot. Guess he was wrong.

Excellent! The porker LT with the PhD..designated hostage negotiator...must be whining like crazy cuz somebody actually done some police work. And fine work it was. Applause!! [attributable, doubtless, to the new training post-Colombine....a new attitude.]

I’m impressed with the one shot put down. The last meth head the Eureka PD negotiated with had at least 11 bullet holes in him. I think the coroner stopped counting...

He got his wish, and he saved the tax payers a lot of money!
