If he had no weapons, how can it be called a stand-off? Or was it because the police were more interested in overtime pay.
No weapons have been visible or verbalized from the male. (it doesn;t state they new for sure the still needed to take safty precautions
Just so happy it is all over…hope all are safe including the suspect..a very sad situation. Police were right in taking precautions…no one knew for certain if there were weapons.
im just happy its over and no one was hurt. there will be alot of rumours going around i for one have heard 3 different stories.
Why did we hear 6 repeated shots at 12:10 pm just before the arrest was made????
Flickering Star
When a concussion grenade is deployed you will hear a bang, when it explodes you hear another. 3 concussion Grenades were deployed hence the sound of 6 repeated shots !
