Oops...Houston police shoot, kill pen-waving amputee in wheelchair

The man had only one arm and one leg... friends said he was all right...but it was his left side that was gone...
 

A Houston police shot and killed a mentally ill double amputee in a wheelchair after he threatened an officer with a pen, authorities said. Police arrived at a personal care home early Saturday morning after the man, Brian Claunch, started threatening his caretaker because he wouldn’t give Claunch cigarettes and soda, John Garcia, the home’s owner, told local media.

The orderly called the police. When they arrived, Claunch — who had one arm and one leg and was in his mid-40s — cornered one officer while waving around a weapon, police said. The weapon turned out to be a pen. The other officer, Matthew Marin, then shot Claunch and killed him, police said.
