Police Kill Someone In Iceland.. For The First Time Ever! by Pangea: 8:23am On Dec 03, 2013 |
[size=13pt]Rare Iceland armed police operation leaves man dead[/size] Icelandic police have shot dead a man who was firing a shotgun in his apartment in the early hours of Monday. It is the first time someone has been killed in an armed police operation in Iceland, officials say. Tear gas canisters were fired through the windows in an attempt to subdue the 59-year-old, who lived in the east of the capital, Reykjavik. When this failed he was shot after firing at police entering the building. Between 15 and 20 officers took part. Back-up was provided by special forces. The tear gas was used when the man, who has not been named, failed to respond to police attempts to contact him and continued shooting. When they entered the apartment, two members of the special forces were injured by shotgun fire - one in the face, the other in the hand. Investigation The man, who died soon after arriving in hospital, was thought to be alone, police say, and the motive for his action remains unclear. "Police regret this incident and would like to extend their condolences to the family of the man," Icelandic police chief Haraldur Johannessen told reporters. The incident was "without precedent" in Iceland, he said. The apartment block was evacuated as neighbours were considered to be in danger. Iceland, with a population of 322,000, has one of the lowest crime rates in the world and shooting incidents are unusual. Counselling is being provided to the special forces team. An investigation is being carried out into the conduct of the police and to try to find out why the man began firing. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-25190119#TWEET972719 |

Iceland's mental healthcare system - even cats get counseling. Maybe thats why they have less people killing each other too! |

Not that the NPF does not have crazy trigger-ready folks but if we had a population of 322k it won't be as bad as it is here |

How many people are in that country but that notwithstanding if Nigeria police are there the population will be facing extinction now. |

Iceland is lovely, but it should be much poorer than Nigeria: Ageing population, no mineral resources... What they have is fantastic -- No -- AMAZING education, but they have highest proportion of Atheists in the world, so I can't say why God has blessed them. We must pray that somehow God lets us catch up. |

Ki-Katanga: They were once poor. During the Cold War US gave them huge funds under the Marshall plan, they utilized it wisely, and hence, their success. |
Re: Police Kill Someone In Iceland.. For The First Time Ever! by KiKatanga: 3:57pm On Dec 08, 2013 |
Uyi Iredia:Yup, but it's a fraction of the amount that Nigeria has at its disposal, but it was used very wisely. Not to build churches in the middle of nowhere. |
