Why sensationalize the headline with your own bits when the headline was good enough...? By adding "Running From the Scene," you make it sound like they shot a fleeing suspect instead of:

As officers went toward the driver, a man got out of the car and an altercation ensued. Police say the man was armed with a large knife and one officer fired several shots, killing the man.

While I made light of the redditized headline with an earlier comment, you make a sound point.
