Homeless man asks to be shot by police, gets what he wants

On Tuesday, November 15, New Orleans police were called to remove a homeless man from the front of the Caesars Superdome ticket booth. The man pulled out a knife and threatened the officers, advancing toward them and refusing to drop his weapon. One of the officers then shot him, immediately calming the recalcitrant individual. The homeless man's life, who was shot in the arm, is not in danger today, and it appears that he was already wanted for a murder in another state in the United States.
