Folks like to play what-if. OK, I can do that. What if the best outcome was for the "truly innocent" (girl in pink about to probably get stabbed, right?) was to suffer a knife wound, possibly fatal, and that our victim here suffered I don't know, one, maybe 2 shots at most, possibly fatal?
Please explain how that could be 'the best possible outcome'.
Without stating the results of the injuries, the proposed 'outcome' is meaningless.
Both live- ok.
Both die- not ok.
Stabbing victim lives, shot suspect dies- ok.
Stabbing victim dies, shooting suspect lives, not ok
So how does a cop, in the span of time shown in the video, respond to get the first outcome - nobody dies?

Adults present prior to police arrival failed to intervene in any manner that might have prevented this.
And I hope the brave SOB that kicked one of the female victims while she was on the ground, then started shouting that the suspect 'was just a kid' gets arrested for assault.
Maybe he's her father, uncle, whatever.
But I'd posit he's part of this whole situation, and could have prevented it.
A thorough investigation appears to be underway.
It is a tragedy, but it could have been a far worse one.
The media linking this to other shootings, for ratings sensationalism, doesn't help at all.
One reporter asks what deescalation tactics the officer used...
Wow, just wow.
