Great job officer's!!
Suspect was killed not arrested
The police as a team did a great job stopping an immediate threat to them, and the public. It does not feel right when the perpetrator is your family member. Everyone from dispatch to officers on scene were calm and used their training. It’s unfortunate he lost his life.
People have no spiritual grounding. People feel like they want the world to suffer instead of dialing 988
