A 30-year-old Tosh.0 production assistant was shot and killed in West Hollywood, Calif. on Monday, after a trio of Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department mistook him for the suspect in a stabbing incident, opening fire and hitting him once.

John Winkler, who worked on the Comedy Central viral video lampoon, had been on the premises of the Palm Avenue apartment complex visiting friends in a neighboring unit when he became involved in the hostage incident after hearing screams, officials said.

“The apartment door suddenly opened and a male victim came rushing out,” Sheriff’s officials said in a statement. “He was covered in blood and bleeding profusely from the neck.

Officials continued, “Winkler ran out of the door, lunging at the back of the fleeing victim,” and both of the people were running “directly at the deputies.”

According to authorities, “Winkler was similar to the description of the suspect and was wearing a black shirt,” and “believing Winkler was the assailant and the assault was ongoing and he would attack the entry team, three deputies fired their duty weapons at him.”

The actual suspect, a 26-year-old man named Alexander Tor McDonald, was arrested in connection with murder, attempted murder and torture, and has been held on $4 million bail after pleading not guilty to the charges in a hearing Thursday.

the lesson here folks is that the highly trained peace keepers lives are more valuable than the mere mundanes, seeing how they killed the one they believed was a threat to them, but only arrested the one actually trying to kill the mundanes.
 
Its unwise to assume cops are highly trained with firearms. I know guys who were very highly trained who voluntered to work with local law enforcement because they knew these guys were at risk of tragic outcomes and wanted to help. And once that got going made btheir SWAT teams into awesome SWAT teams.
