While I don't recall the circumstances of this shooting and I'm sure it happened in the heat of the moment, the lost of a young man by shooting by those, sworn to protect the people.

Gee mate, you might want to to a bit of research before claiming you are "sure" of something.

Absolutely appalling that although some young person has lost their life certain posters have resorted to off topic bickering. Sad state of mind some people
