and this Quote: |
Some neighbours said the police urged the man to drop his knife. Then they heard four or five shots.

The version NNS quotes also says 4 or 5 shots .I don't think an Officer shooting off twice is uncalled for ,especially since he wasn't phased by the taser.

I read this on CBC news. Apparently, their child was in the home when this episode ensued.

But good on the cops, if this dude was crazy to threaten a cop with a knife then I don't want him roaming our society
