"On March 11, a defendant on trial for rape in Atlanta
allegedly overpowered a courthouse deputy, took her gun and killed four people,
including two law enforcement officers. A little over a month later, a
Providence detective was killed with his own weapon while interviewing a
suspect at police headquarters.... Police in Augusta, Ga., killed an inmate who fled on April
21 after overpowering a state corrections officer and taking his gun,
authorities said. Two days later, a man under arrest in Spring Valley, Ill.,
wrested away an officer's gun and beat him with it. The suspect then fatally
shot himself, police said."
