A MAN was shot dead by police after "trying to run people over" in Philadelphia, with investigators confirming terror is being treated as a possible motive.

A man in a black Honda targeted pedestrians this morning, hitting one man and aiming for others before being stopped by an off-duty police officer.

The officer confronted the driver who reacted aggressively. The officer then fatally shot the driver in the head.

The 30-year-old driver was taken to hospital in an "extremely critical condition" but declared dead around two hours after arrival.

A police spokesman said while only one person had been hit by the car, "multiple people" had been targeted.

The officer then fatally shot the driver in the head.

Säästyi Trumppilan veronmaksajilta pitkä penni oikeus-, mielenterveyshoito- ja vankilakuluja. Yhden hollow pointin hinnalla.

Tietysti Philadelphian keskusta polttaan ja hävitetään jos ammuttu oli musta, mutta silti.

Hienosti ammuttu. Pahikselle annettiin mahdollisuus, ei kelvannut. Toivottavasti ampuja jaksaa ja yhteisönsä tukee. Ihmisen ampuminen on aina paha ja raskas taakka kannettavaksi vaikka miten olisi oikeutettu tappo.

Huom: tämä lienee myös esimerkki concealed-carry tyyppisen tilanteen auttavasta vaikutuksesta. Vaikka ampuja sattuikin olemaan vapaalla oleva poliisi.

Toisaalta vaara tietysti on esim sairauskohtauksen saaneen kuskin (vrt Pitkäsilta) ampuminen terroriteon pelossa.
