A man who fired an assault rifle inside a Washington, D.C., restaurant in December 2016 while claiming to investigate the “pizzagate” hoax died this week after being fatally shot by police during a traffic stop in Kannapolis, North Carolina.
When officers recognized Welch and moved to arrest him, he produced a handgun from his jacket and pointed it at one of the officers, police said, and after refusing commands to drop the gun, two officers opened fire on him.
He learned absolutely nothing from his past mistakes. Looks like natural selection took this moron out of the gene pool.
Obvious question - why did this man have a firearm? Was he allowed to own firearms? Did get a gun from a grey or black market?
There’s police brutality, but taking out a gun and pointing it at an officer is probably going to get you shot fairly quickly
I’m curious what he was wanted for.
I mean ACAB and all, but pointing a gun at cops is a surefire way to get yourself shot.
Is it allegedly pointed a gun at them, at this stage? I don’t know how things like body cam footage work there.
I thought that said ‘finally’… dude was kind of destined for this, unfortunately.
