This is a fucking disgrace.
The fact that this guy used his daughter as a shield is almost beyond comprehension. As implied by the story, I'm inclined to believe that there was a bit of mental instability involved. How else could we reconcile such abhorent behaviour?
However, there is NO EXCUSE for police to open fire on someone in these circumstances. Whilst I don't necessarily believe the figure of "300 shots fired", what on Earth were these people thinking when they fired at this man and his hostage?
