Just woke up and catching up. The suspect last night was killed by a remote detonated bomb?

NONONONONONONONONONONNO. That's not us no matter what he did.

Have they said what the legal justification was?

How is it any different than sniper taking out a suspect shooting out of a home, etc? -- nm - oblique Jul 8, 10:28 7
- I think the goal in almost any standoff is to get the guy in alive. - Will Hunting Jul 8, 11:10 1
  - I'd assume the justification to use the robot is the same as to call for a sniper shot - oblique Jul 8, 11:11

- Was he actively shooting at that point? Were there civilians at risk? Like I said, I'm just catching up. - spamlet Jul 8, 10:31 3

  - He was armed, claimed to have bombs and had stopped communicating. As I understand it. - TWuG Jul 8, 10:34

Guy basically said he was never going alive and would take more cops with him if they tried. Ergo, robot bomb. -- nm - ÜMLaut Jul 8, 10:28 7
- It's definitely a novel approach. I'll be interested to hear what they used. -- (edited) - TWuG Jul 8, 10:32 5
  - I'm thinking something that explodes -- nm - decline Jul 8, 10:35 1
    - Thank you, Captain Obvious. :-) -- nm - TWuG Jul 8, 10:46
  - There was also initial reporting suggesting he may have shot himself after being injured in the explosion. - znufrii, dad. Jul 8, 10:35 2
    - DPD has said he hadn't shot himself, but was killed by the detonation. -- nm - TWuG Jul 8, 10:38 1
      - Thanks - znufrii, dad. Jul 8, 10:38
- Also he said there were explosives, so it's not like they could run the risk of waiting him out once negotiations broke down. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jul 8, 10:32
