Monongalia County Sheriff’s Department says deputies were acting in self-defense when they shot and killed a suspect while serving a search warrant early Saturday morning. According to a press release, deputies were attempting to serve an arrest warrant on an individual on Price Hill Road when the unarmed suspected accosted the deputies. The suspect was armed with a handgun and was threatening to shoot the deputies. Deputies responded by shooting the suspect. He was taken to Ruby Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Sounds like they broke in to make an arrest.

Was the warrant for the guy who confronted them with a handgun?

If not, was it his home, or did they just break into some random place and pat themselves on the back for killing the resident?

It would be nice if the lamestream media would find out what happened and report on that instead of just repeating whatever spin the department's press officer put on it.

Sorry Mickey... you missed it. The first line of the article says "search warrant", not "arrest warrant". With a warrant to search the address, it doesn't matter who then, armed, threatens to shoot the officers.

First it was "search warrant", then it was "arrest warrant". First it was "unarmed suspect", then it was "suspect armed with a handgun".

WTF????

" ... when the unarmed suspected ... " =/= " ... The suspect was armed with a handgun ... "

Why is it that "the names of the deputies involved in the incident are being withheld"?
They are public employees and their names should be on the public record because ...
"This is the third deputy-involved shooting within the last year in Monongalia County."
Who among the deputies were involved in one, two or all three of the shootings?
The public has the right to know but I'm not optimistic that the local media has what it takes.

When you start with a BS report authored by the cops who just shot somebody in his home, then filter it through the department's spin doctor who writes the press release, then filter it through 'professional journalists', don't be surprised if the story is full of holes and self-contradictory.


That said, is "unamed suspect" unnamed or unarmed or both?
