I'm was a 21 year friend of the man. first off the kids were his brother and his girlfriends kid. second they never called the police and said he had a gun. If you watch the video the cop came up behind him he did not rush the officer. One last thing an eye wittness who is a icu nurse said there was no taser marks on him.I first read this when it was first posted I was just to mad to write anything i would like to hear from any one who would like to contact me my email is lemon21@comcast.net

"just crazy". This is a tragic story, all the way around.

It sounds like it could have been a full-fledged manic episode. I read where his family said he hadn't slept in a few days. I wish that trooper had had more backup.

i imagine the findings of the drug investigation will be used to help the cop's case that he had to shoot him - since, if the dude was on speed or crystal meth, the taser probably wouldn't have had any affect on him. i drove by the scene at around 6:15 and saw the bodybag. sadly, i was happy (well, "happy") to find out this morning that the dude was just crazy and not somebody getting in a car accident on christmas.

I wonder what the result of that investigation into drugs will be?
