Things That Don’t Mix Well

Nazi paraphernalia and booze. Seattle police fatally shot a man, described by his friends as a “history buff,” after responding to reports of gunfire. When they approached his house … well … I’ll let the AP take it from here:

Seattle police spokesman Jeff Kappel said that when police knocked at the door, a man dressed in a German military uniform opened the door brandishing a long rifle with a large bayonet attached.

Kappel said the man pointed the rifle at one of the police officers, and refused several orders to drop the weapon. Two officers shot him several times.

The man was taken to Harborview Medical Center, where he later died.

Police searching the house found a large collection of German military and Nazi regalia and a lot of alcohol, Kappel said.

Remember, kids: Friends don’t let friends get smashed and dress up as Colonel Klink. (Although I’m going to go out on a limb and say the rifle was the main problem.)
