Nobody knows weather or not if it was justifed for the officers to take lethal action towards the suspect. But I do know that Law Enforcement officers in the great State of Oklahoma, are required to attend several hours of continueing education each year and countless hours qualifying at the gun range and preparing for the worst, such as situations like this. Law Enforcement Officers are highly trained professionals and know what steps to take at the appropriate time. Also the suspect allegedly brandished a firearm towards the officers. I cant speak for any of the officers on scene, but if a person brandished a firearm towards me in that type of situation, I wouldn't of thought twice about defending myself.

Never could figure out how all these people that get shot just "point a gun" and stand there waiting to be shot. I just dont buy the "suicide" cover story, either.

According to Facebook, police scanners said the armed suspect was confirmed dead at 12:17pm by the ambulance officials. I'm not sure what took place. But I received a call from the schools at 12:33pm saying lock-down was over.
