Great job by Fox Point and River Hills police. Goes to show you that violence isn’t only a “big city” problem.
Police kill robbery suspect, arrest woman in Glendale shootout
A man and a woman were involved in the Fox Point bank robbery this morning that led to the fatal shooting of the man by police, Fox Point Police Chief Tom Czaja said.The man, whose identity has not been released, was pronounced dead at the scene of the shooting, which took place in Glendale and involved officers from the Fox Point and River Hills police departments, Glendale police officer Joel Dhein said.
[...]
According to Dhein, the robbery was reported shortly before 10 a.m., and Fox Point police officers spotted the car a short time later. Officers followed the car and pulled it over minutes later at the intersection of N. Port Washington and Good Hopes roads.
River Hills police officers, who communicate on the same radio frequency as Fox Point police, heard the vehicle stop in progress and went to the scene to back up the other officers, Dhein said.
After the vehicle was stopped, the male suspect pulled out a gun and began firing on the officers, who returned the fire, killing the man, he said.

From the picture I saw at jsonline it looked more like he assumed street temperature.
Why they had to keep the road closed all day is beyond me. Wonder how much all the forensic work cost. Although it is important they document everything real good since it’s only a matter of time before a criminal in a necktie files suite.
Glad it didn’t end up with the cop being shot.

Excellent job by the responding Officers who obviously paid attention to their training instructors and were prepared to deal with this situation. Every armed robbery should end this way.
As for sealing off the area to traffic (vehicular and pedestrian), this becomes a crime scene requiring a thorough accounting of where every round fired went (want to make sure nobody got hit by a stray round), measurements, photographs, interviews of witnesses, and recovery of evidence. It is imperative that no one be allowed inside the contained area to prevent contamination (loss of evidence and/or other such problem) of the scene.

hy spend the money? The perp is shovel ready. How long does it take to pick him up and throw him in the dumpster?
But back to my original post. We spend the money because of an over production of lawyers.
