[b]Foxnews.com:[//b] Georgia police fatally shoot man waving machine gun around near gas station

A Georgia man was shot and killed by police on Sunday after he was observed waving around a firearm near a gas station in Athens, according to officials.

Athens-Clarke County Police responded at about 1:20 a.m. on Sunday near the intersection of Lexington Road and Gaines School Road to a report of a man waving around a "machine gun," according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Officers arrived and saw the suspect, identified as 26-year-old Sims, at a Verizon store before crossing the road to the parking lot of a QuickTrip gas station.

Sims was chased by officers and instructed to drop the firearm. But at one point during the brief chase, Sims fired the gun at the pursuing officers. Two officers returned fire and struck the suspect multiple times.

The suspect was given emergency medical assistance by officers at the scene until emergency medical technicians arrived.

Sims was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

No officers were injured during the incident.

Athens-Clarke County Police have requested the GBI to investigate the officer-involved shooting.

The two officers involved in the shooting on Sunday have been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the GBI's investigation into the incident.

Sims' body will be taken to the GBI Crime Lab in Decatur, Georgia, for an autopsy.

When the investigation is finished, it will be handed over to the Clarke County District Attorney's Office for review.


Glock with a giggle switch and an extendo mag is my bet.

A predictable pattern...
They will hold a "memorial service" at the 'QuickTrip' and then they will hope to cash in on their ghetto lottery tickets...

Sisters shaken after police shoot, kill man accused of waiving around machine gun in Athens

GBI identifies suspect shot, killed during shootout with Athens-Clarke police at Quik Trip

ATHENS, Ga. — A community is asking questions after several people saw police shoot a man outside an Athens gas station Sunday morning.

Marquavious Sims, 26, died at the hospital.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation is in charge of gathering evidence that that Athens-Clarke County District Attorney’s Office will use to determine if the shooting was justified or if the officers used excessive force.

Sims sisters, fiancée and mother spoke to Channel 2′s Courtney Francisco less than 24 hours after the shooting.

They said they had high hopes for Sims. One of his sisters said she was there with him when police shot him.

It happened before 1:30 in the morning. People were talking in a parking lot near Sundown Saloon.

“The club is here. So, people be, like, all over. Ss, like, people just be walking around different spots just mingling and stuff like that,” said Ivory Brown.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Gas station is a non smokin’ area. It’s illegal, you know.

Had to ventilate him instead.

Grade school photo??? You mean "The most recent picture that doesn't have a booking number or a height grid in the background?"

Wait, sorry... Same thing.

Good to know that the females of the household had a high hopes for him. Not waving a gun around, taking shots at responding officers, and getting shot in return wouldn't SEEM like a heavy lift for those hopes .

They could find and maybe interview the male family members who had a part in his upbringing and ask....

Wait, sorry again. You'd have better luck asking a complex physics question.

Isn't there supposed to be an apostrophe in there someplace?
