MIAMI (AP) - Miami police and witnesses say that an officer has fatally shot a naked man who was chewing on the face of another man on a downtown causeway off-ramp.

The Miami Herald reports (http://hrld.us/KiMC2Y ) that gunshots were heard at about 2 p.m. Saturday on the MacArthur Causeway off-ramp. Witnesses said that a woman saw two men fighting and flagged down an officer, who saw a naked man mauling the other man. The newspaper quoted witnesses as saying that the officer ordered the naked man to back away, and when he ignored repeated demands, fatally shot him.

I'm wondering absent a weapon in the hands of the naked guy... was the officer justified in going straight to deadly force... or was a taser, a baton or peper spray avilable for the officer to use instead? The news story leaves out a lot of details.

That's just nuts! Zombie?

Kill him.

Yeah, you never can be too careful with the undead.

I don't think tasers work on zombies.

According to early reports, it was originally reported as both men being naked and either running together or chasing one another across a bridge. Moments later, a combat between them ensued, and eventually wound up with Officer X engaging Naked Hungry Man.nI figure this story will evolve over the next few days.

From The Miami Herald: "The attacker continued to eat the man, despite being shot, forcing the officer to continue firing...".

Their website has the raw surveillance video from their roofcam (most of the actual event is obscured by the bridge, so if you were hoping for a perfect viewpoint, it's not coming any time soon). http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/05/26/2818832/naked-man-shot-killed-on-macarthur.html#storylink=cpy

Anyone say open face sandwich ?

Sorry bad taste and bad joke. All those years in the health profession shining through .

I wonder if there's a hoodie involved here somewhere and the media is going to blow this out of proportion. The media is going to cause a firestorm against zombies and doctor the 911 calls to paint zombies as racists. Everyone knows zombies don't discriminate against skin color when it comes time to eat faces.
