SWAT team shoots father to rescue daughter

A SWAT team in Lynwood, California shot a man to death trying to rescue his 2-year-old daughter, who he had held hostage for several hours.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Byron Ward said that deputies responding to a call found the [girl’s wounded mother] outside the house.

Gerrardo Arvallo, 32, was shot at about 11:30 p.m., authorities said.

“He refused to surrender or release his daughter, while making threats to kill himself,” Deputy Ed Ward said.

Deputies believed the child was in imminent danger and fired a single shot that killed Arvallo when he was not near the child, authorities said.

    Cop`s, just like to lie to make a kill, I wonder if it was their brother, in the same situation would they have been that quick to fire a killing shot? Never believe everything you hear or read in the newspaper, 90% of it is all lie`s. I wonder how can the killer cop sleep at night, after all he is just a cold blooded killer!!!!!!
