Wow, it was like an episode straight out of CSI, but without the cool people like Marg Helgenberger, George Eads etc.
Sunday Morning (February 8, 2009) just down the street from my house there was a shooting in a house. Cop cars galore and yellow crime scene tape surrounding the front porch with channels 6, 10, and 12 news vans skulking every corner block with the cameras perched high above just waiting for a glimpse of the crime.
So here's what happened. At 9:30 am the police got a call about an 18 year old boy acting strangely and being verbally abusive to his girlfriend so the cops showed up at the apartment to see the boy yeilding a knife and pointing at the girl (who is from East Providence). The police man got out his gun and told the boy to drop the knife, but instead of being smart the boy turned towards the policeman with the knife now aimed towards the policeman. On the second request to the boy to drop the knife, the boy instead started moving closer to the police saying things to him. The policeman, had no choice but to shoot the boy. Then (don't know how) some other policeman accidentally shot another policeman in the arm. It ended up with both the boy and the cop at RI Hospital. The cop was fixed up and released last night. The boy is still in the hospital.
Luckily no casualties but the cops were there ALL DAY! It was crazy driving by the house.
