what a crazy story.
--hope that the victim survives and can get some reconstructive surgery to fix that was damaged
--the officer did what he could under the circumstances. . .not sure any of us could have done better. he warned him. he tried to get him to stop with a disabling shot, and when that didn't work, he did what he was trained to do.
--unfortunately for the deceased, there apparently no non-lethal alternatives, at least none that would have worked in this case. would love to know if he had mental health issues or was on some serious psychotropic drugs. . .
normally you'd say that you couldn't write a situation this weird, but they have (as many have pointed out)--they just happen to be zombie horror plots. . .
