Ok. Confirmed it through SHP source that it was decided to switch from non-lethal beanbag rounds to
regular ammo due to supects continued threat to hostages, himself and anyone within range.

2/10/2011 6:24:24 PM

Automatic gunfire from a shotgun. Good job WRAL!

Somehow I doubt they were wielding AA-12's.

this just in... gunman had a sarah palin t-shirt on and drove up in a 2008 suburban with a "ill keep my guns, you keep the change" bumper sticker

2/10/2011 6:25:52 PM

Bank robbery is not a problem if you bank where black people are not allowed

2/10/2011 6:26:13 PM

More than one gun went off.

^ LOL at Saabturbo and WRAL The do want to save the suspect when possible so he can stand trial.
This dude was determined to go out by SBC. (Suicide By Cop).

I live right there behind the daycare and was outside for most of this. Heard the gunshots a little bit ago....couldn't get close enough to see anything

2/10/2011 6:51:55 PM

Why are they talking to Debbie Yow about this?

2/10/2011 6:53:40 PM

I just heard another gunshot a short bit after the hostage was killed. The chief just confirmed it was an accidental discharge

I wouldn't put it past the robber to kill people for no other reason than anger that they will get to go on living a normal life and he wont."

I don't know. Seems to me a guy who thought red pants and purple shirt were a good combo when he woke up this morning probably wasn't thinking much about the consequences of armed robbery.

2/10/2011 6:57:43 PM

anyone gotta link to the shooting video? news keeps cuttin it off

2/10/2011 6:59:25 PM

should have built a fake wall in a vacant room and wait a week.

A bullet.

I didn't address him considering the consequences beforehand. I was referring to the part where he realized he was fucked. Of course he didn't properly consider it. Once it went bad he realized he was fucked and had to get an out. He chose the SBC method. I pretty much called it.


^^ I posted that a good while before he got shot. Since the question was posed in the present tense, your statement fails. A bullet is not going through his head right now and it wasn't going through his head when the question was posed either.

From WRAL comments:

Quote :

"No I am not, but I do believe that we are entitled to our proper justice and this man is no different, as I said I don't think that armed robbery is punishable by death in North Carolina. Unless Cary is exempt from the State Laws, he deserved to explain his actions not be killed when it was not necessary. If the sniper was such a good shot,why wasn't he able to shoot him in the arm or leg."

2/10/2011 8:02:34 PM

^lol

Shoot him in the arm, make him mad, and see what he does.

What's mOre important? This maniac having a chance to plead insanity or him possibly killing a innocent person or 2.

2/10/2011 8:10:09 PM

There are tdubbers who deserve worse son.

2/10/2011 8:13:39 PM

Sounds like they saved money on the trial, so there's that.

2/10/2011 8:14:39 PM

They went all:

2/10/2011 8:33:19 PM

per wral, the dude was a panther creek high school student that lived nearby...

what a retard

2/10/2011 9:20:42 PM

Really? I think he may have just wanted to die in a manner that would gain him notoriety. Marylin Manson actually addressed this in one of those interviews linked today. It is a side effect of the way our society operates.

Like I said, you're sick people.

"Cary, N.C. — The man shot by police after a standoff at a Cary bank lived in an apartment complex nearby, according to authorities. Devon Mitchell, 19, lived in the 900 block of Pony Club Circle. According to friends, he was a senior at Panther Creek High School. Mitchell held at least two people at gunpoint for more than two hours Thursday afternoon inside the Wachovia at 10050 Green Level Church Road, police said. When Mitchell left the bank, dragging a woman with a gun pointed at her head, police fired, killing him. http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/9093527/"

2/10/2011 9:41:37 PM

someone post the video of this dude getting sniped. puhleassssse.

2/10/2011 10:03:46 PM

you like watching people die?

2/10/2011 10:15:15 PM

Lots of people enjoy it, yes. The news media enjoys it too, that's why they film shit like that happening. The clip will leak soon I'm sure.

2/10/2011 10:17:51 PM

not really, just wanna see it for some reason.

2/10/2011 10:18:12 PM

Anyone who would go out and do something like this pretty much serves no purpose in this world. Granted -there are far worse things that he could have done, but as young as he is was, he would have likely continued to commit crimes.

2/10/2011 10:24:55 PM

I was stuck in traffic at the Green Level Church Rd. parking lot about 100 ft from this happening. Cops cut me off, and I had to turn around.

I graduated from Panther Creek in '09. Never knew the guy, but I do remember seeing him around school after that picture was posted of him. Damn

OR he simply wanted to die with notoriety without having to actually do anything to accomplish it. He knew he would be remembered for his actions. Many have suggested this is the motivation behind many political assassinations. That it's not actually political disagreements.

Your "analysis" of this is really basic and likely overly simplistic. I would wait to find out more before we jump to any one conclusion.

im not going to read this thread, but i want to know...

did they bring in a sniper?

2/10/2011 10:38:39 PM

^^
Eh, I'll agree with that to some degree. But even if they did subdue him by some other method, he still has a broken mentality that is of little use to the rest of society.

2/10/2011 11:12:44 PM

That was extremely close to my house. Scary shit!

2/10/2011 11:21:54 PM

is there a dog running around in that video?

2/10/2011 11:58:14 PM

That looks like a pretty big burst from the gun, was pretty risky of the cop. Nice shot though, glad no one else was hurt

2/11/2011 12:09:56 AM

what is the light on his pants when he goes down, did they tase him and then shoot him on the ground?

There was definitely more shots when he was down, you can see it hit the concrete, but what brought him down? its like a flashlight shines at his hip and then he goes down, taser?

I can't believed they played that back. Nice shot though. Reading the comments on the youtube page about how "nice" the guy was. Im sure the people in the bank as well as that women thought he was real nice when he put a gun to her head. Good job by the police. If they had done nothing and he had killed her the police would have been criticized for not doing enough.

2/11/2011 6:44:12 AM

^very true.

2/11/2011 7:48:42 AM

gg, CPD.

and did the K9 attached the hostage? haha

2/11/2011 7:55:15 AM

saw on the news this morning where they interviewed one of his friends who referred to himself as "Stackz".

Should explain a bit about what kinda guy this was...

also, after watching that youtube video...its evident that the muzzle blast from the cop on the right is from an assault rifle that probably fired a 3-5 shot burst. No way hes living from that at that close range. Dude dropped like a rock

Reflection of the muzzle flash?

2/11/2011 8:16:33 AM

I was either guessing muzzle flash from a large burst (larger than 3rb from an m4) or a tactical flashlight attached to it, used to distract or blind?

2/11/2011 9:14:04 AM

i can only imagine how terrifying that probably was for hostage lady

2/11/2011 10:17:29 AM

using a burst seems silly in that situation, if they even have select-fire weapons
