It was for a different sort of story:

WITN –

North Carolina authorities have cleared eight officers who fatally shot a 53-year-old man, striking him 14 times, after he pointed a shotgun at them.

Local media outlets report Monday that Sampson County District Attorney Ernie Lee ruled the May 29 shooting in a Burger King parking lot was justified.

Lee’s report says officers tried for nearly 20 minutes to get Coffey to put down the gun. Seven Clinton officers and a highway trooper fired 143 shots in less than a minute after Coffey opened the door of his pickup.

An autopsy showed John Coffey of Warsaw was shot in the head, shoulders, neck and torso.

Lee says a state investigation found Coffey never fired his shotgun. It was not loaded.

Coffey’s wife told investigators that he was severely depressed.

  1. Damn!

    And Her Smugness was actually IN North Carolina today! Albeit Raleigh).

    What a tease. I feel like a teenaged boy who just dropped off his date,not having gotten even to second base with her.

  2. I hate to be this guy, but after all the education we’ve had about email recently.

    WTF is an email box?

    Didn’t it just show up as email?

    Or did it really come in a box? With a ribbon? A card? Invoice?
