Louisiana State police: local cops kill man shooting at them
Local officers in southwest Louisiana shot and killed a man who was shooting at them early Tuesday, Louisiana State Police said.
Lake Charles police were responding to a pair of late-Monday shootings when 22-year-old Christopher Thomas of Lake Charles fired at them about 3 a.m. Tuesday, Trooper Derek Senegal said in a news release.
He had shot several times into a house about 9:45 p.m. Monday and run away. Thomas then returned, firing more bullets, one of which hit an occupant in the foot, Senegal said.
Officers found him about 3 a.m. Tuesday in a house about a mile from the first. When they told him to surrender, he shot at them. During negotiations, he walked out the front door wearing body armor and carrying a handgun, went back inside, then fired at the officers from the front door, according to state police.

How phucking stupid must one be to shoot at cops?
Play stoopid games, win stoopid prizes.
Cemetery plots are cheaper to maintain then inmates in prison, cripples in hospitals/care homes, or broke people on welfare.
An example of one of Newton’s Laws of Motion, “for every action (shooting, specifically, shooting at cops), there is an equal and opposite reaction (being shot by cops).”
The grip on that 1877 looks awkward, where it meets the frame. But it must have worked. Be interesting to try it sometime.
While the “plowhandle” grip of the 1851/1860/1873 C ok ts allowed the guns to roll in the grip, folks knew that when you could grip the gun firmly, in the long run speed and control would improve. This is an early step in that direction, an evolution of the ‘birdshead’ grip.
In addition to what David said, that was a double action revolver.
I have a nickel plated one of these Colts. The grip is not awkward and it works very well. The problem with these double action revolvers is that the internal double action mechanism is weak and breaks easily, so most who fire them now only do so in single action mode. This was the preferred sidearm of Billy the Kid.
