jeff leopard Posted 18 November, 2009 Share Posted 18 November, 2009 "Upon arrival police found the man attempting self-harm," police said earlier in a statement. "There was a confrontation between the man and police where the man was subsequently shot by attending officers." http://nz.news.yahoo.com/a/-/world/6487275/man-dies-after-being-shot-by-police/ How do you mean? There's not really enough detail to draw any conclusion (unless I've missed some key piece of info). It doesn't say how the guy was self-harming (nail clippers?machete?) or whether the guy turned this instrument on the policeman, or if he just got very upset, lunged at the officers who over-reacted and shot him. It doesn't suggest he was trying to kill himself, and then got stopped by the law, who then killed him. That would have been ironic. How do you read it?

Hatch Posted 18 November, 2009 Share Posted 18 November, 2009 He was tasered, not shot in the traditional sense. He stabbed himself, then 'attacked' cops. http://www.smh.com.au/national/tragic-adam-shot-by-police-at-home-20091118-il1v.html?autostart=1 Tough ****.

Master Bates Posted 18 November, 2009 Share Posted 18 November, 2009 What do I think about this story ??? Well, it's certainly better written than what the Echo would have done. No spelling mistakes, correct punctuation. 9/10 I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
