Loading...It has been all over the news lately that on Monday, December 2, the Iceland police shot and killed a suspect who wouldn’t stop shooting at them. So why is this all over the news? 2 reasons:
1. It’s the first time in the country’s 70 year history that the police has shot and killed someone.
2. The police apologized for shooting the suspect, and the officers involved will be going to grief counseling.
Iceland ranks 15th among countries of gun ownership per capita yet there is almost no gun violence to speak of. Maybe that is why they can still mourn a situation that unfortunately seems all to familiar to us here in the States.
