A message on the street said that Shaun Fuhr was killed by the Seattle Police while holding his 1-year old baby. Sounds awful right? Truth is Shaun Fuhr had been beating his girlfriend for hours before taking off with their baby. The mother was extremely worried about the child's safety because Shaun Fuhr had a gun and alerted the police. The police primary concern was the safety of the child and Shaun Fuhr could just have stopped when the police chased him. Now that's another story right?
