Flushing Out Crime

This is a little bit of old news by now, but just in case out haven't seen it, check out this article, and especially the video, depicting the unique capture of a murder suspect in Shenyang, China. After the suspect took shelter in a hospital room window and the police lost patience with the two-hour standoff, fire fighters set up an inflatable target on the ground below and blasted him down with a fire hose. Since the suspect was said to be armed with a knife at the time, it's particularly lucky for him that he didn't slice open the target and lose his cushioning. Most observers were just pleasantly surprised to see Chinese emergency responders actually make it to a scene.
