| 2020-04-20 |
| [MAIL] A man wielding a baseball bat was shot a deadd by police in a California Walmart on Saturday, after he reportedly began threatening officers and swinging the weapon towards them in a suspected incident of suicide by cop. Officers from the San Leandro Police Department responded to a disturbance at the Walmart on Hesperian Boulevard at 3pm yesterday afternoon to accounts of a man attempting to rob the store. Upon their arrival, police determined there was no robbery but found the suspect menacingly brandishing a baseball bat at the store's entrance, threatening staff and telling passers-by he 'wanted to die'. The attending officers approached the man and ordered him to drop the bat, however the suspect refused to comply and began walking towards the them, swinging the weapon. |

| #10 Things I have found out in a local Walmart's sporting aisle... Raj, have you ever swung a fully functional flanged mace? The aluminum Little League Slugger baseball bat has just the same feel... sweet! Always thought that it was just the ting for one of those World War Zâ„¢ scenarios... |

| #6 Obviously too much of a coward to not commit suicide if he 'wanted to die'. |
