(AP) AUSTIN Austin police say they shot and killed a man suspected of slitting a 3-year-old girl's throat in front of her mother moments before they arrived.

The child is listed in critical condition at Dell Children's Medical Center in Austin.

The shooting happened Monday afternoon at the University Canyon Apartments in southeastern Austin. Officers answering a report of a stabbing entered an apartment to find a handcuffed woman covered in blood, holding the bleeding child.

Police Chief Art Acevedo said the woman gestured toward the man, who was her ex-boyfriend. He charged the officers with a knife before the officers shot him dead.

The officer who fired the shots has been placed on administrative leave pending a review.

Acevedo said the suspect was not the father of the child. No identities have been released.cbs11tv.com - Austin Police Kill Man Suspected Of Cutting Child

If they had the chance, they should have slit this scumbag's throat in front of his mother. There's some sick, sick, sick people in this world. Hell-yeah to the Austin PD for culling this guy before he got a chance to sit in the pen for the rest of his life while we paid for his three meals a day.
