RALEIGH, N.C. -- An off-duty police officer shot and killed a man who was stealing her personal vehicle outside a restaurant early Sunday, police said.
Officer Michelle Peele's vehicle was parked in front of La Rosa Linda's restaurant, where she was working as a security guard. Peele confronted the suspect, then fired one shot, striking Nyles Arrington, 42.
Police said Arrington then drove the vehicle across the street, struck a parked vehicle, drove back across the street and stopped in the median.
Emergency workers transported him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.
No further details were immediately available.
Peele, who has been with the Raleigh Police Department since June 1999, was placed on administrative duties.
The police department and the State Bureau of Investigation are investigating, a standard procedure in shootings involving police. " |
In my handgun class, we were told you're not allowed to kill someone trying to steal your property. Is the Raleigh PD exempt? Perhaps the officer felt her life was in danger at the time. Maybe we'll find out.8/29/2005 10:11:34 AM |
