Atlanta police shot a man after he allegedly stabbed a Georgia State University officer Wednesday afternoon near Woodruff Park.
The wounded suspect was wielding an 8-inch butcher knife, Atlanta police homicide unit commander Capt. Paul Guerrucci said.
According to messages on the GSU website, the officer was near the downtown university when the incident occurred. The officer was wounded in the back, according to Guerrucci, and transported to Grady Memorial Hospital, along with a second injured officer, for treatment.
The wounded suspect was also taken to Grady, where he is in surgery after being shot in the lower torso, Guerrucci said.

The difference between this shooting and many others is they STOPPED shooting!
Give them credit for that.

As Ferguson was a social experiment, this too could be one with another attack on the homeless without dealing with the problem.

How many interactions with citizens do you think take place on a daily basis without shots fired? But those do not make headlines do they?
Maybe the title of your thread should be "another person attacks police, ends up shot".

What happened at Ferguson was the reason I made that comment
As for the police being campus police...I'm a little lost on that. You have so many different types of police over there! Maybe someone could make a thread for us brits explaining the difference between Police officers and sheriffs and highway patrols etc.
Over here in the uk we just got....the police!
