Cop shoots driver dead after car chase
Thursday Jan 11 22:26 AEDT
A Perth policeman has shot dead the driver of a suspected stolen car who stabbed him after a high-speed chase.
A West Australian police spokesman said the vehicle pursuit ended in suburban Floreat when the driver lost control and crashed through the front fence of a house in Salvado Road.
When police approached, the driver got out of the car and lunged at the officer with a knife, stabbing him in the shoulder.
The spokesman said the officer shot the man in self defence and he died at the scene.
The wounded officer was admitted to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in a stable condition.
Police internal affairs and major crime detectives are investigating.

Hope the copper is okay. Sounds like he'll be in the clear.

A person with a knife who is 20 ft away from me is close enough to present a clear and present fatal threat to me and I am justified in using deadly force.
Glad the officer is ok.Creeper Cop
