Overkill? Cop's Shoot Suspect Armed With A Crowbar 10 Times!

MONTEREY PARK, Calif. (KABC) -- A suspect armed
with a crowbar was shot outside of a Carl's Jr.
restaurant in Monterey Park on Monday morning.

Authorities say the incident began with the
suspect breaking windows at Carl's Jr. in the 1200
block of Avenida Cesar Chavez just before 9:30
a.m. The suspect then walked inside, while workers
and customers ran outside.

Police arrived as the suspect was exiting the
fast-food restaurant. After repeatedly telling the
suspect to drop the weapon, the suspect was
Tasered.

Police said the Taser was ineffective, and the
suspect swung the three-foot metal bar at officers
twice. At least one officer opened fire on the
suspect.

The suspect was taken to a local hospital, where
he was pronounced dead.

No one else was injured in the incident. The
officer-involved shooting is under investigation.
