Pepper Spray Leads to Death

Yesterday, two police officers went to the home of one Jason William Leary in response to an accusation that Leary was violently beating his wife. The two officers were met at the front door by Leary...and his pepper spray. Leary sprayed the first officer with the pepper spray, disorienting him, and then went after the two officers with a machete. The second officer fired several shots, at least one of which hit Leary. Leary was transported to St. Agnes Hospital, where he reportedly died a short time later. The two officers are fine. However, the officer who fired his weapon is now on administrative leave while a thorough, internal investigation is completed. I have to say it's a little odd that a man would come after two officers with a machete. I'm not sure what he was trying to accomplish while going up against two men with guns. It's unfortunate that this resulted in death, but as it sounds, the officers had no other choice. Here's a link to the article. Later!
