Re: Pakistani politician cheered n' jeered for leaping on gunman


	Quote: The drama came to a head when the former MP Zamurd Khan – who had presented himself as a volunteer negotiator – lunged at the gunman and tried to overpower him. The manoeuvre was only partially successful as Sikandar moved away, fired a round, appeared to surrender and then started running. He was then shot by police, some of whom indulged in celebratory aerial fire.

While it is incredibly foolish as he was not really able to over power the gunman the probability of it ending badly were probably greater. I wondered what the police were doing? I think that nowadays with suicide bombers and the like the public will retaliate if cornered. It is not unheard of for the targets to turn the tables on their assailants. King Zog killed his attacker.
