Sheriff: Deputy Shoots, Kills Man After Report of Kidnapping

New York Times

DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. — A Georgia sheriff says a deputy shot and killed a man in a mobile home park in Douglasville, about 20 miles west of Atlanta.

Douglas County Sheriff Phil Miller tells The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://on-ajc.com/1NJew5x) that a security guard told officers he’d been kidnapped and held hostage for 45 minutes.  

Miller said several deputies responded to the neighborhood, and found three men inside a white, four-door sedan.

The sheriff said that as deputies were trying to take the men in the car into custody, one of them pointed a gun at a deputy, who shot and killed him. Names of the deputies and the man who was killed weren’t released.

Miller said two suspects, whose names weren’t released, were arrested.

  1. “The sheriff said that as deputies were trying to take the men in the car into custody, one of them pointed a gun at a deputy, who shot and killed him.”

    Methinks the sheriff lied.

    Since the pig was obviously close enough to shoot the ‘suspect’, then the converse is true.

    ANYONE who points a gun at a pig knows they’re dead if they don’t pull the trigger these days. IF this guy pointed a gun, then he OBVIOUSLY had ample opportunity to fire first.

    Something reeks here.
