Marshall Man with a Knife Stopped by Police with a Bean Bag Gun
A Marshall man, determined to commit suicide by cop, was safely taken into custody on Wednesday night. After efforts to talk the armed 36-year old into giving up failed, a deputy used a beanbag gun to subdue the armed man as he came toward officers with a large knife.
Sgt. Tim Howell of the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department said in a release that it started about 9 pm on Wednesday (April 21
st), when a man called police dispatch, saying he was suicidal and wanted to be killed by police. Officers called him back and tried to reason with him but to no avail. When he kept calling dispatch and began threatening to start harming other innocent people, Sheriff’s Deputies and State Police headed to the home in the 200 Block of West Drive North in Marshall.
THIS amazing world-first video shows the moment a Somerset wingsuit pilot jumped from the peak of Africa’s second highest mountain. Tim Howell, 31, was the first man in history to fly a wingsuit from the top of a British mountain - and he decided to go one better. Former Royal Marine Tim, and photographer Ewan Harvey, first scaled, then jumped from the daunting behemoth known as ‘Mount Kenya’ - at 4,883 metres - second only in height to Killimajaro. After a gruelling climb the crew reached their jumping point, the summit known as ‘Point John’ - which stands at 750ft above sea level.
