It is now reported that he had a knife in his possession when shot. However, 7 shots still sounds very excessive.
I suppose without having been on the scene, we cannot truly assess what happened.
It did strike me s strange that he seemingly missed the police instructions, to either submit to arrest or get in the police car, rather than his own car.
Guess it will all have to be sorted out, meanwhile it is hard to comprehend where rioting helps anything.
