Armed police have killed a suspect, 25-year-old Redouane Lakdim, who shot dead three people in a series of attacks in southern France. The gunman said he was fighting on behalf of the Islamic State group.
>Sacramentoโs mayor Darrell Steinberg said he was horrified by Clarkโs death but wouldnโt second-guess the โsplit-second decisionsโ of the officers.
The guy appeared to be holding his phone on his hands, arms stretched out as if it was a gun. Sorry, I don't care if you're holding an icecream cone, if the cops tell you to raise your hands and not approach, you obey.
>Geoffrey Alpert, a professor of criminology at the University of South Carolina and an expert on police use of force, said the officers may have a tough time explaining why they jumped to the conclusion that Clark had a gun.
