Second officer-involved shooting in one week

Austin news is so ridiculous. Police responded to a nut waving a shotgun around, spend hours negotiating, try "less lethal" rounds to incapacitate him, finally SWAT has to shoot him.

But it's an "officer-involved shooting."

Looks like even after SWAT shot him in the shoulder, he picked up the shotgun and tried to off himself. He missed, but looks like he'll be eating through a straw for a while.
