MISSOULA -- The Missoula man who was killed by a city police officer Wednesday morning was allegedly strangling his girlfriend in the car before the officer fired the lethal shot.
Authorities haven't released the names of the officer or the deceased man.
Police initially responded to a 9-1-1 domestic disturbance call at a Missoula home involving two women and the 20-year-old man. The time was 2:04 a.m.
The man fled the scene, taking his girlfriend hostage, Missoula County sheriff's spokeswoman Paige Pavalone explained Wednesday afternoon.

Just pardon any man who shoots his brother-in-law for PROVEN domestic violence. Remember Sonny Corleone?
True. I know that it does happen, of course. I consider myself fortunate.
Yeah, it’s ugly.
With his hands up.
I wonder if he could breathe? Apperently his girl friend was having a little trouble doing that.
South of tracks...lol
How noble of you to be sweet about race but prejudiced to geography
Like where I live....Nashville.....south side is richest....it happens
I think the appropriate wording is wrong side or bad side of the tracks not south side
It is true...90% of Missoula is south of the tracks and I-90 too for that matter
Everywhere I’ve been the south side of the tracks is Wonderland. Don’t be caught there after sun down unless you carry a loaded weapon and even then...

Woman hurt in Midlothian bar brawl
December 31, 2014 1:38PM
A man and woman were arrested after shattering glass objects over another woman’s head during a brawl Dec. 21 at T.J’s Sports Bar & Grill, police reported.
Officers were called to the bar, 4025 W. 147th St., about 3 a.m. and found a 23-year-old Oak Forest woman suffering from a bleeding head wound and sitting amid a pile of glass, police said.
The victim told police that she had a verbal argument with a woman, who struck her and the two began fighting. A third woman, Amelia Fuentes, then went to the employees-only section behind the bar, grabbed a glass coffee pot and smashed it over the victim’s head, according to police.
Witnesses said a man, identified as Daryl Cook, then shattered two beer glasses and a beer bottle over the victim’s head.
The bar manager told police he heard a commotion and left his office to investigate, only to be hit in the head with a thrown beer bottle.

People are weird... you forgot to ask her if she wanted to be roughed up, she was peeved you broke up the game.
Glass fights in bars are so archetypical that fake bar glassware is sold in theatrical supply stores. It busts like glass but does not cut like it.

Domestic violence call turns into fatal officer involved shooting in Carter County, KY

CHARLESTON, WV -
Kentucky State Police responded to a call on US 60 near Olive Hill, Kentucky with Carter County Sheriff’s Deputies. According to troopers, the call came in as a domestic violence incident involving a fire arm Wednesday night.
When officers arrived on scene, they attempted to contact the male inside the home on the phone and through a PA system. Troopers and deputies saw the male with a handgun assaulting a female resident. The male then fired the handgun through a window toward officers. That is when we’re told a Kentucky State Trooper fired one shot at the male, killing him.
The female victim was taken to the hospital for injuries sustained during the domestic assault. No officers were injured.
The man’s name is not being released at this time pending family notification.
The trooper should have used a Kentucky rifle to shoot the gun out of the suspect’s, er, “victim’s” hand./s
WOW.........stranger than fiction.
