"man was driving dangerously"
"police shot him"
"he died"
hardly in-depth is it!? For all we know he'd just come from a bank robbery which is why he was driving so erratically! Let's not jump to conclusions...there can be a million reasons why this has occured....I think purely because he was driving the wrong way is reason 1,000,001
