Knife-wielding people, here's a tip. If you come into contact with the cops and you threaten them or someone else, you're going to get shot.
Kansas City, Kansas, cops shot a man armed with a knife who was holding someone hostage in a barricaded basement in the 3400 block of North 63rd Street around 12:12 p.m. yesterday.
The cops figured out that the hostage was in "immediate danger," so they entered the basement and encountered a white man with a knife. They shot him. He was taken to a hospital, where he died.
The man's name hasn't been released.
The hostage was treated and released with minor injuries. It's not a
great outcome, but at least the hostage is OK.
The officer wasn't injured but was placed on administrative leave while
police investigate.
It's the second officer-involved shooting in the last six days. Last
Friday, a white guy
with a knife allegedly tried
to stab officers at an apartment at 4119
Mission Road. The cops shot him. At last word, the alleged stabber was
in critical condition.
