Knife Wielding Assailant Shot

He might still make it:
  • A Chicago police sergeant shot a man wielding a knife at the intersection of LaSalle and Monroe streets about 1:50 a.m. Saturday, police said.

    The man was driving a black Maxima that rear-ended a silver car as they headed southbound down LaSalle, Chicago Police News Affairs [...] said.

    The man got out of the car and tried to attack the driver of the other car. A private security officer stopped to check on the car accident, [...], and the man stabbed her. She was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

    The sergeant who responded to the scene told the man to drop the knife and he didn't, [...]. He was taken to an area hospital but his condition wasn't available.

And once again, reporter Peter Nickeas doesn't use the word "victim" to describe the assailant/asshole. Even the headline is neutral - just the facts. Maybe there's hope for some in the media yet. Maybe he'll make editor one day, but why should we wish ill on his life like that?
