It sounds like they shot the guy... though as is always the case when police shoot someone, it's now all "hush hush". Saying police increase safety though is like saying fire fighters increase fire safety. In both cases, if you need a lot of them, you have bigger problems that you should be solving.
I'll admit, I'm biased because my interactions with Ottawa police have shown them to be an extremely bloated apathetic organization that needs 3 fully kitted cops in cruisers to sit around and do nothing while citizens do their job...and police just swoop into to write the report at the end. I've never seen an organization that did so little with so much money.
