A 29-year-old man armed with knives was killed today after three law enforcement officers fired at him as he was entering a convenience store, police said.

Police had earlier confronted Joshua Barre at his home, according to Leland Ashley, public information officer for the Tulsa Police Department. He was armed with two knives at the time he was shot.


quote:

The man's mother, Etta Jones Barre, told ABC affiliate KTUL in Tulsa that her son was probably "frightened for his life."


quote:

"He didn't have a violent bone in his body," she said, adding later that police "didn't have to kill him."

Not sure how this will all play out or why subject did not drop his knives when commanded to do so but this further proves the point of never bring a knife to a gun fight.

What a terribly written story. So cops confronted him at his home, then shot him as he attempted to enter a convenience store? Was he robbing or threatening? Why did they confront him at his home? I is confuse

IDK, but I'm sure they saw every single detail of the shooting and will be climbing over each other to tell the world what they saw. Had it been a community murder, not a single person will have saw shite

Off topic but related, has an arrest ever been made in the death of the McKinnley High School quarterback?
