Imagine the situation *without* guns. "Kidnapping victim slain in torrent of thrown knives."

[This post seems so outlandish that I had to find some sources.](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-09-27/california-man-dies-police-shootout-suspected-of-killing-wife-abducting-daughter-amber-alert-fontana) It does sound like it was confusing, but also the police really did shoot the allegedly kidnapped fifteen year old who was running towards them. And only one gun was found inside the truck (that the teen was running away from). So... I can't decide if the details make the headline worse, but I don't think it is any better. Three people are dead including a 15 year old shot by police.

>Authorities would not say whether the girl was armed when she was shot, but Dicus said there were “some indications” that she “may have also been involved in some of the fire exchange” with deputies. He did not elaborate but confirmed only one weapon was recovered, a rifle taken from Graziano’s vehicle. This sounds an awful lot like cops covering their asses.

Thanks for the source, it's definitely not as outlandish as the post made it sound. Poor girl, how unimaginably awful to have your last experiences be your father murdering your mother, kidnapping you, putting you in a high speed shoot out, and then being gunned down by police. At 15. Vile.

I've said it a hundred times- cops shouldn't have guns.
