RISING SUN, Md. (AP) — Maryland State Police are investigating the death of a woman who was fatally shot by troopers in apparent planned suicide.
Authorities say 45-year-old Christine Lucas of Rising Sun, who was shot early Sunday after pointing what appeared to be a handgun at officers, left a note explaining her actions.
Investigators say troopers encountered Lucas about 2 a.m. Sunday after responding to a reported intruder.
Troopers Justin Rann and Timothy Graham, both four-year veterans, are on leave while police investigate the incident.

Great work Officers!
ReplyDeleteLove how they say four year veterans. They just dried behind the ears! Not to mention that as usual what appeared to be a gun.... Once again.... You cops are trained to confirm visually that a weapon is present. It's one of your bragging points of how dangerous your job is. You cannot not assume! As I read it no weapon was found and these are two more murderous cops. If you can't do your job correctly than quit cops! Assuming is not your job!
ReplyDeleteShe had a gun, real or fake is irrelevant.
ReplyDeleteA lone female intruder with a gun. Yeah! Nothing odd there. Seems like the police should've been more diligent. Who called them? Son was upstairs. Bet she lived there! No crime to hold any gun on your own property! Just let the cops start showing up and killing anyone with a gun! Your idiots! More to common sense then being common! No where does it say she popped up pointing it at them. Guaranteed this woman was sobbing and depressed. No attempt to talk to her or talk her down. Nope. People like this aren't hardened thugs. They don't pop up ready to blaze their weapons. In Maryland its gun and die! Lmao. Those pigs will get theirs just like the rest of them will. But until the people had enough.... Let's ay along with hopes the time comes quicker.... Good job officers!
DeleteYou need to read more up on this 3:26. She called them about an armed intruder and came out pointing the gun at them. The gun which she painted to make it look real.
ReplyDeleteGuarantee until you are blue in the face. Knock yourself out guaranteeing, but the fact stands she was not sobbing. She intentionally engaged the cops so they would shoot her. This she confirmed in a letter she left. You people really need to be more informed over these situation before you start offering up you uninformed opinions. You will become a better person for it and not embarrass yourself if you repeat your nonsense in public. Plus commenting when you are clueless benefits no one.
