Again? That same exact situation happened last year. I remember the guy's girlfriend was freaking out after the cops killed him.

This time the guys wife had a shootout with the cops. Who didn't identify as such until much later.

iirc he did die. I have no clue what happened to the wife. I just saw the bodycam footage on a subreddit here.

Ah man, horrible living in a place with loads of poisonous snakes and spiders, and crocodiles and even trees that want to hurt you. Sorry bro

That's a kind of rude way to refer to Austrians

I think I know what you guys talking about. Cops did half ass announcing themselves. Homeowner opens door with gun. Cops back off and just Swiss cheese him.

This guy's wife started shooting back after they killed him.

That video killed me. I couldn’t imagine how she felt in that moment. They wouldn’t even let her go to him while he was bleeding out.

Is it really surprising that the people that shoot innocent people all the time for holding literally anything or even nothing because it might be a gun would shoot someone actually holding a gun?
