I still think way too much information is missing to draw definitive conclusions--except that a guy got shot and killed who was carrying a weapon. My initial reaction is that the threat was there and the possibility of imminent harm to an officer was a possibility as well. May this have possibly been a "death by police" suicide or attention-grab event done on purpose--in other words the intended outcome the "BG" wanted was to be shot? Was there a "reasonable" way out without a loss of life given the situation and resources at hand? (I'm not suggesting the shoot was not justified--for all we know the BG may have had other weapons and intended to carry out other crimes).
