Intresting that other media outlets reported the suspect was armed and that he had a lengthy criminal record, but WRAL chose not to provide that information.

"I notice a trend of young officers not even on the force for 4 or 5 years being involved sometimes not in one shooting but sometimes two or three and in most cases the victim/criminal didn't have a gun." jjsmith1973

Is that so? Please provide the name and agency of all these officers with less than 5 years that have shot 3 unarmed people. I can't wait to read about them.

Uhavenoclu-- The cop was protecting himself.

If you were in his shoes and had been attacked by a armed felon what would you have done? Let him kill you and get away? I think not.

I think it is sad that the picture used was an arrest photo. With such little information, that paints a picture that may not be true!

I agree oleguy. WRAl is terrible for posting a story such as this with so very little information that you come out of reading going "What the heck was the point of me wasting my time?" I'm so tired of articles not just on this subject but in general not having enough detail to even be worth posting.

I bet ol' Nijza Lamar Hagans had a record of violence a mile long...I say, good bye! Good riddance!

I didn't read anywhere that the car was stolen. I think I'll postpone my opinion until more facts are released.

Nijza Lamar Hagans was a career criminal that shouldn't have been on the streets to begin with. He sealed his own fate and there's one less bad guy in this world.
