    What a surprise.

    Federal agents from the FBI and the US marshals service had located Reinoehl on Thursday after a warrant was issued for his arrest, Troyer said. During the encounter, Reinoehl was shot by a law enforcement officer who was working on the federal task force.

    Lt. Ray Brady, of Thurston county sheriff’s department, said the Pierce county fugitive apprehension team, working with US marshals, was in the area looking for a wanted homicide suspect when they saw him come out of an apartment. They said he appeared to be armed.

    “The suspect came out to the car,” Troyer said. “They attempted to put him into custody and shots were fired.”

    "...appeared to be armed.." - No mention of a gun being retrieved at the scene so he wasn't armed.

    "...attempted to put him into custody"..."...shots were fired". Translated this means, we saw him, shouted police and then shot him.

    A witness who was walking his dog in the area was quoted by the Olympian as hearing 30-40 shots being fired after two SUVs pulled up outside a block.

    That doesn't sound like they tried at all; they rocked up in their death squad mobiles and lit him up. Trump will love this; bet you he tweets some shit about "brave police protecting law and order".
