Suspect, 18, accused in murder of Georgia police officer is shot, killed by cops
2018-10-22
[FOX] An 18-year-old man wanted in the murder of a Georgia cop was shot and killed by police Monday after they encountered him holding a lawnmower blade in a shed, police said, ending a massive manhunt two days after the 30-year-old officer was murdered.

Authorities located Tafahree Maynard on Monday morning after officers began investigating a tip the suspect was spotted in the Snellville area within the last 12 hours. Officers encountered Maynard in a shed and he "failed to comply" with verbal commands, Police Chief Butch Ayers said in a news conference on Monday.

An officer reportedly deployed a Taser and found Maynard was holding a lawnmower blade behind his back, leading to a second cop firing his gun. Maynard was pronounced dead at the scene.

#4  If the officer who shot him is white, you can expect Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the whole BLM crowd to be all over this.

Ignoring the fact that the officer he killed was black.
