I don't like the fact that the police shot the suspect without any evidence that he had a weapon. Yes, there had been a car chase, but the police need to be more restrained when it comes to using deadly force. The suspect made a verbal threat, but that's not enough provocation. There was a passenger in the car, and she was hit. It turns out that the passenger was the suspect's girlfriend and was involved in the crime, but the police didn't know that at the time.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
