Police Kill Man “Zombie Hunting” Residential Streets Rifle And Scope

Brooklyn Center, Minnesota – Police shot a man to death on a residential street Thursday night after he was seen carrying a high-powered rifle equipped with a sniper scope.

Police responded to a report of an adult male walking down the street yielding a rifle. Officers came upon the man and started yelling commands and moments later shots rang out and the man lay there dead. No one else at the scene was injured.

An unidentified witness said officers repeatedly instructed the man to drop his weapon but the man refused stating he was “hunting zombies,” and needed the rifle to “save the world”. Another witness said at no time did the man point his weapon at officers which begs the question, did cops again shoot first and ask questions later?

The dead man’s identity has not been released.
