Once again- we have another shootout involving a Federal lawman in a highly populated area.
This incident was Tuesday evening- when a U.S. Marshal and a Greene county deputy followed a shooting suspect from rural Polk County- then attempted to stop the suspect in a residential area of Springfield- according to The SPRINGFIELD (MO) NEWS-LEADER.
The suspect reportedly fired one time and was shot dead by repeated shots from the 2 law officers.
Some residents in the neighborhood hit their floors when the shooting began- and there are hard questions why the 2 cops didn't attempt the stop in a less populated area (a.k.a. the FBI Olathe shooting of several weeks ago).

It's always good when writing what "looks" like news to write them with some key facts. You wrote "followed a shooting suspect from rural Polk County- then attempted to stop the suspect in a residential area" I guess the "-" means you left out the suspect shot at a officer in polk county THE DAY BEFORE, they did not follow the suspect from Polk County and then just stopped him when he got to a populated area. The suspect told several people he was not going to be taken alive. The news-leader reported that that the autopsy showed suspect shot himself in lower stomach/groin (when drawing the gun to fire on the officers) and had two lethal shots to the chest, and one self inflected shot to the head.
Sometimes the officers have to do what they are forced to do.
Gee, must be some cop doing his own interpretation.
