Police Shoot, Kill Man in Fight at Homeless Shelter
http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Shots-Fired-in-Fight-at-Homeless-Shelter-Near-Fort-Belvoir-229965241.html

A man was shot and killed by Fairfax County Police following a fight at a homeless shelter Wednesday night in Hybla Valley, Va.

Officials confirmed shots were fired after a fight broke out in the 9100 block of Richmond Highway near the Fort Belvoir military base around 6 p.m.

Police told News4 a man involved in the fight struck an officer at some point. The officer fired one shot at the man, who was later pronounced dead.

News4's Shomari Stone obtained surveillance video from a 7-Eleven in the area, where a man many identified as the victim of the shooting had thrown a 2-liter soda at the ground and acted "combatively" prior to the incident at the homeless shelter.

The police officer involved has been placed on administrative leave.

Oh, and thirty minutes to respond? Routine traffic stops in this part of town generally bring a police response of four to six cars. Guess our boys in gestapo boots were busy at the donut shop, or maybe heard on the radio that there was a fight. Too dangerous a situation to trouble the boys who harass single black or haspanic mothers and teenagers!

I love it when people have an opinion when they don't know the entire story. The subject has left the 711 conveinant store and headed to the Kennedy Shelter where we physically assault at 64 year old homeless woman by beating her severely. The woman is currently admitted to INOVA Mount Vernon Hospital will life threatening injuries. The subject also injured another homeless individual as he started a rampage throughout the center randomly beating everyone he encountered. The subject is one of a group of men who had migrated from the Ft. Washington area beating homeless people over the past year. When the police arrived, they were forced to taze him. In fact they tazed him three times and withot success the subject attacked an officer and began to beat him severely. Several shelter staff members tried to intervene and were also injured. As a result of the attack on the officer, the officer was forced to shoot the subject.

It's easy for those of you to sit behind your computer and pass judgement about the police and what they should have done, however . . . understand that you only get 40% of the truth when reading, listening or watching a news report. To come to a 100% complete conclusion or even opinion is absolutely absurd.

Will Hallis -- the 40% of the story you have is wrong. No one from the shelter staff was injured. No shelter residents were injured and most didn't see much of anything. The man who was killed was never a shelter resident, although he had stayed in overflow and was known by the shelter staff as a mostly gentle man with mental problems. He was obvioulsy out of control and behaving in a dangerous, violent manner. Mental health professionals deal with people like him all the time. Why are the police unable to manage this kind of threat? Why did it take over 30 minutes for police to respond to the initial call? Perhaps our police should spend some of their enormous training budget on learning how to manage the mentally upset, instead of equipping themselves and training themselves to kill the people they protect.

Fairfax County police are out of control. They make Daryl Gates and the LA Police Department look like child's play. But they will never be taken to task because this is just one homeless man, and his death won't be news tomorrow.

The street people are using the word murder to describe this one.

Just like you must agree then that it would be absurd to just take your word for it.

Heres the thing as always something clearly doesnt add up. If what you say was indeed true than FCPD brass must have a combined IQ of 15 not to include that in their own press release as it would jusify the officers actions. Its always these random you must not be informed posts that justify the shooting yet the department themselves never seems to support those claims.

Considering how many people the police are now killing on a regular basis frankly the burden is on them to justify them. There were 11 murders in the county in 2011 and 16 last year, the police arent that far off and at the increasing rate it wont be long until theres more police murders than murders.

Fuck cops, fuck 'em in the ear, the slimy bastards. All these trigger-happy pigs need to take a walk. Goddamn shitheads can't do their fucking job and are immediately threatened and scared as soon as someone looks their way. "I broke a sweat, that's assault on an officer!"

You fucksticks posting shit about saving taxpayers this or that - don't worry, your $100 annual taxes are mostly spent on education and roads --- what you should really be worried about is that they're just practicing, fuckers.

The Mount Vernon Police District have identified the man who was shot and killed by police outside a homeless shelter in Fort Belvoir. Police say 28-year-old James Bryant, a resident at the Eleanor Kennedy Shelter, began to assault other residents at the shelter Oct. 30. When two police officers arrived on the scene, Bryant assaulted an officer and wrestled his baton away from him, police say. Bryant then turned on the second officer with the baton. Police say the officers attempted several ways to non-violently end the assault. The officer struck by the baton fired his service weapon and fatally shot Bryant.

The officer who was hit by the baton was an 11-year veteran at the Patrol Division at the Mount Vernon Police District. He was taken to a local hospital with non life-threatening injuries. Both officers involved in the incident have been placed on administrative leave, police say. Three of at least of the four victims involved in the original fight at the shelter were taken to a local hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

Update – Officer Involved Shooting

Mount Vernon Police District – Detectives have identified the man who died as James Bryant, 28, of no fixed address.

They encountered Bryant who assaulted an officer and wrestled away his baton. During this altercation, Bryant assaulted the second officer with the baton. Officers employed multiple levels of non-deadly force to try to end the assault. These attempts to control Bryant failed to stop his violent actions. The victim officer, previously struck by the baton, discharged his service weapon to stop an additional assault by Bryant. The officers then rendered aid until medical personnel arrived.

The officer struck by the baton was taken to a local hospital with non life-threatening injuries. He is 35 years old and an 11-year-veteran of the department. He is currently assigned to the Patrol Division in the Mount Vernon Police District. Both officers have been placed on routine administrative leave.

There were at least four other victims from the original fight at the shelter. Three of these victims were transported to local hospitals with non life-threatening injuries. The other victims did not require transportation.
