Whoa.

Well, at least we know the police in Duuurty Chatt are good shots.

"CHATTANOOGA - Six Chattanooga police officers fired 59 bullets to subdue a suicidal armed man last month, a police spokeswoman said today.

A preliminary autopsy report shows the victim, Alonzo A. Heyward, 32, had 43 bullet holes in his body. Without question, those wounds led to his death, the medical examiner's report indicates. But police said the use of force wasn't excessive.

"When we are trained to shoot, we are trained to shoot until we subdue the threat," said Lt. Kim Noorbergen, police spokeswoman. "We are not trained to shoot to kill, as many people think.""

Um, it took 43 shots to "subdue" him? Really?

On a positive note, the cops went 43-59 on shots.
