FRONT ROYAL, Va. – A soldier dressed and wearing face-paint like Batman villain The Joker was shot and killed by police in the Shenandoah National Park after he pointed a loaded shotgun at them after a chase, an FBI affidavit says.

Army Spc. Christopher Lanum, a suspect in the stabbing of a fellow soldier at Fort Eustis, was killed hours after the attack when officers attempted to stop the minivan he was driving, according to court documents filed Wednesday that first disclosed the weekend shooting.

Lanum's girlfriend Patsy Ann Marie Montowski, a passenger in the van, was hit by gunfire and treated at a hospital. She was arrested Wednesday evening and charged with being accessory after the fact to assault, authorities said.

A lawyer for Montowski was not listed in court documents.

According to the FBI affidavit filed in federal court in Montowski's case, Lanum was dressed in The Joker outfit at the time of an argument early Sunday with his Fort Eustis suite mate, Spc. Mitchell Stone. Montowski told the FBI that Lanum idolized the character.

Stone told emergency workers that Lanum stabbed him and used a stun gun on him, authorities said, adding he was taken to a hospital for serious injuries and later released.

Stone told emergency workers that Lanum stabbed him and used a stun gun on him, the affidavit said. Stone was taken to a hospital for serious injuries and later released.

Lanum and Montowski fled in her van, which a park ranger spotted about 200 miles northwest of the base, according to authorities. The ranger called for help, and Lanum led police on a slow-speed chase before running over a spike strip laid down by police and crashing, they added.

The FBI said Montowski told them that Lanum handed her the shotgun and asked her to kill him, but she refused. The affidavit says Lanum pointed the gun at police, his finger on the trigger, and refused commands to drop the weapon. A trooper fired through the driver's side window, Lanum's shotgun discharged, and police fired several times.

The trooper and park rangers involved in the shooting were placed on administrative leave with pay pending the outcome of internal investigations, according to a joint state police, FBI and National Park Service release.

Even if its one of those toy guns that obviously look fake and have a giant red tip on the end, because officers are sooo smart and can tell the difference.

I agree with FW, there are many things people could do to trick the cops, what if someone put a red sticker on the tip of a shotgun thinking people would think it was a fake one until it's too late.

Cops are stupid.
Hardly. Cops don't really eat donuts much and are brave, important people who keep this world in shape while crime ravages every point of the globe. After watching tv like COPS, I've considered taking up the career of law enforcement because I admire upholding the law against street urchins and most of the scripts I write for short films are of cops because upholding the law is the most important thing in society to date. In all fairness, cops are smart and the reason that you're not hog-tied by gangsters to a bedpost.

Original headline:
Man Dressed Like The Joker slain by police in park

True Headline:
Violent, armed, and unyielding soldier put down in park after dangerous car chase  for stabbing peer soldier and prepairing to open fire at officers with a loaded shotgun.

Notice how the red ink describes the antagonist  as a non-threat in the original headline. Reading the article, the purple ink is a much more accurate description of the soldier and what took place.

Also notice the relevance of the blue ink to the events in the article. If he were dressed normally, the police would have done the same as they did for the actions described in green ink.

That is all I have to say about the article. As for the current discussion...







Peace Officers have the same rough average mental capacity as any other career field in our society.

Please do not look at a career title as an object, but see the man/woman behind that title. This is not to say certain career fields have more or less responsibility for their actions, merely that the human condition is thus:

Everyone has flaws as well as virtues; career holders decisions and behaviors can be boiled down to  their upraising and personal experiences in which they either improved upon or ignored.

With this in mind, personal experience has taught me that career fields don't singularly require brain power or technical skill. It is character, wit, and personal feel that are the elements to handle situations in the best manner to achieve success.

The worst thing any person could do when discussing or reflecting on this topic of career labels would be to pick a singular view to measure all individuals within said career field. This happens frequently because of specific current events that are chosen to become news items over the overwhelming majority of acts that occur many times a day that are not seen to be an issue or of interest.

Not one person should find it acceptable to see career fields in such a limited manner. The ironic fact is that the limited mind betrays its own logic when a simple skit occurs...

Replace the career field of the conversation with the career field in which the ignorant resides, apply the comment to that field, and question the validity of the comment to their own place in their field.

The skit also reveals the definition of a stereotype; statements containing partial truths and convenient lies to mask ones shortcomings or to gain recognition to oneself.

In conclusion, look around you at those who are on the clock, those off the clock, in uniform, out of uniform, friends, and family.

They are one and the same.
Your words touch those far and in between.

*TACKLE*
Pointing at them or not, a cop has every right to tackle a man who's holding a gun. Just imagine if you were a cop in California on patrol and saw some Latino guy, or a black guy, or even a white guy holding a pistol in the streets. Your first instinct would be to tackle the bastard.
