What Unanswered Questions Remain About Usaamah Rahim?
Resume
Plenty of questions still remain two days after the fatal police shooting of 26-year-old Usaamah Rahim in Roslindale. Rahim allegedly lunged at two law enforcement officers with a military-style knife outside of a CVS on Tuesday morning.
"Obviously he was armed, he was dangerous," said Boston Police Commissioner Bill Evans Thursday in Roslindale. "He came at all those officers. I can't say enough about the restraint they tried to use, and unfortunately, they did what they were trained to do. And that's, you know, that's to take his life because he very well could have took their life."
