It’s no fun at all when the victim fires back.

Two officers with the Santa Ana Police Department shot and killed a man who was believed to be holding a loaded rifle on Sunday evening, officials say.However, police confirmed the rifle was later identified to be a fake.
According to the department, officers received calls around 5:30 p.m. on Sunday about a man armed with a rifle and loading it in the area of Broadway and 2nd Street.
Then at 6:22 p.m., SAPD issued a notice on X, formerly Twitter, alerting the public to stay clear of police activity in the same area.
Police say two officers came close to the suspect and shot him.
After the shooting took place, officials say the man was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The department identified the suspect as a man in his early 30s, but did not immediately provide a name or known place of residence.
The rifle was then taken in by police, who later identified it to be a fake.

If the suspect was looking for attention there are better ways. Thanks, Gun Bunny.

Fake rifle.
Suicide by cop?
Why else would you not drop a fake rifle when told by Police that they will shoot you if you do not?
My thought precisely.
A mentally ill person wanting to die but too scared to off themselves.
I feel for the LEOs involved. That is not the kind of thing they want to ever be involved in.
Good chance it was, Tox. Considered this one for a SPoTW Thread too. Puts the LEOs in a bad spot. “1 Adam 12, man with a rifle waving it around…be advised it is dark…” Might want to check The Binder on “fake guns”.
Flur-Ruh-Duh Man just doing Flur-Ruh-Duh Man things. Odd how quickly he remembered pressing business elsewhere when return fire came his way.
Doing Stubbys this week? I’m good with that. Escort duty today. There may and/or may not be a Stubby along with Mr. Kimber & Company in my load out.
Thanks KoB, for the reminder of T2NB2AGF.
At that oh-dark-too-damn-early-AM pre-caffeine, I can barely prepare myself for the day, much less think coherently. Not all cylinders are firing, much less firing in order.
Nice little belly gun. I’d prefer not to let the bad guy get that close, but if he does this may resolve the issue in my favor.
Description of the gun reminds me of the analysis of Belenko’s MiG-25 some years back. All kinds of crudities in the plane – but none affected its performance.Some even enhanced what the Russians wanted it to do.
