Reply #57: My mentally ill cousin was shot in the chest by police in N. Virginia

[moc]

He was alone in an empty office conference room.

He was threatening to hurt himself but was unarmed except for a snapler.

His sister was on the scene (outside the building), and she had informed the officers who had responded to her 911 call about his mental condition (he is bipolar).

They shot him in the chest. :wow:

Thank God, my cousin survived. :cry:

Yes, there is reason to be afraid, very afraid.

This incident occurred about 3 months ago.
