Texas Cop headshots machete wielding suspect

This bodycam footage comes in from Houston, Texas. In it, we see a police officer attempt to stop an armed robbery suspect. The encounter escalates into an officer-involved shooting and the suspect takes a round to the head. Although the graphic details have been censored, viewer discretion remains advised. The suspect, later identified as Earnest Harrison, 33 years of age, was reported to have robbed a local store, brandishing a "large knife" at employees. Houston PD caught up to him on a nearby bridge, with a machete in-hand. Despite being told to stop, Harrison jogs toward an officer with the machete raised. At this point, she fires one round, striking Harrison in the head. Other officers arrive and help to effect his arrest. Several of the officers, including the one who shot, seem stunned by Harrison's condition. While I understand that stress can make people do and say nonsensical things, "Anyone got Narcan?" is unavoidably humorous. While Narcan has its uses, rapid-onset acute lead poisoning isn't one of them. Furthermore, they genuinely seem confused by the fact that he is bleeding from the head. Houston paramedics transported Harrison to an area hospital, where he remained in critical condition before passing away four days later.
