  1. Reference Bandit Shot Dead By Police In Georgetown:

    It is alleged that the suspect reportedly advanced to the police ranks with a chopper, forcing one of the ranks to shoot him.

    If this is indeed so, then killing him in defense of his advancement and threat to Police lives is justified.
