Suspect shot in the head by police in Frankford

What goes around comes around. This is a quote that applies to a recent article i read. On March 22nd a robbery suspect was shot and put in critical condition. This occurred at 12:45 am at the 711 on Harbison ave. The suspect pulled a weapon out on a 7-11 employee and a patron. Once he heard that the police are on their way he started to run.

When asked about this article freshman Gerildine Green stated "Well, the only reason they would have to shoot him is if he raised a gun at them, but he didn't.".Mr Petro responded "It sounds like excessive force, i mean i dont know all the facts, but thats what it seems like."

I agree with Mr Petro. Shooting him in the head was unnecessary. The police could've easily shot him in the leg. Yes the robber was wrong but there are other ways to go about punishing him. I personally think it has something to with race as well. You always hear about black males getting shot by white cops for minor things, and the police officer never gets in trouble. But let a white guy get shot by a black cop , the black cop will with a bunch of things.
