Suspect of a home invasion fled on motorcycle, crashed out, and fled on foot. He brandished a weapon and 2 officers fired their weapons killing the perp. Info at the 9News link above has been updated.

I was actually coming back from a meeting when I got call from work about the situation. Took me 3 times longer to get to the office and then 4 times longer to get out of the area after work. The news article is wrong it was Huron 124th to 120th was closed. Glad it was a bad guy that took the fall, the officers were safe.
