Where guns are banned
People kill police officers to get their guns:
Commissioner Luis Guillermo Palacios (40), had 19 years of service in the police force and that day he left his home in the San Martin Avenue to buy food at El Paraiso. He was off duty. He was on his bike when several suspects intercepted him as he moved through Plaza Washington and shot him three times in the back. His family presumed he was killed to steal the weapon.

Unintended consequences. Or are they?
The suspects shot him? What had they been suspected of doing? Who suspected them? Or do words mean things?
I suppose that if I were approached by several people in such a way, I would be the one suspecting them, at that moment, so in that sense they would have become “suspects”. OK then. Once they proceed with an assault though, they are no longer suspects, but assailants. I don’t suppose they teach this in jern’lism skool.

The suspects shot him to get something they already had? More likely the suspects shot him for something he did during his 19 years of service.

The only U.S. Postal Police officer ever to be killed in the line of duty was shot and killed in the main Chicago Post Office by someone who needed the officer’s gun so he and a buddy could spring their running buddy from jail. The breakout didn’t work, but the copper was still dead.
Mr. Kisling, they didn’t kill him to get something they already had. They killed him to get more of something they had.
