Listen to the call James Clark's friend made to 911 before Gwinnett County Police were forced to shoot and kill the man in Lawrenceville, Ga.

Gwinnett County Police have released the 9-1-1 call from a man who says he's a friend of James Clark. The call was made in an attempt to help Clark, who the caller said was going through a rough time after his fiancee had just left him.

Police shot and killed Clark Thursday evening after he approached them with a rifle aimed at the officers. Clark's father and brother were arrested following the incident for disorderly conduct.

this is a serious cry for help. suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. mental health professional cops or swat would have had better outcome. family states it was a bb gun. either way gwinnett pd has killed 3 since dec 2011 becuz they are not following protocol
