Could this be the beginning of the Zombie Apocalypse?

A Miami police officer fatally shot a naked man chewing the face of another man Saturday afternoon on a downtown causeway off-ramp, officials said.

I heard about this.. O.o I watched the surveillance video but it's pretty disappointing; doesn't show much except for the four naked legs of the participants. Here's the article from http://miami.cbsloca...-1-dead-1-hurt/ (bold is my own doing)

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Miami police are still tight-lipped about the man they shot and killed on the MacArthur Causeway Saturday afternoon, but new details back claims they had no choice: the naked man they shot was trying to chew the face off another naked man, and refused to obey police orders to stop his grisly meal, which one source now claims included his victim’s nose and eyeballs.

Surveillance video taken from security cameras at the nearby Miami Herald building show a police officer arrive on the scene, appear to be startled by the spectacle of two naked men lying on the street, and draw his service weapon. It appears that the officer shot one of the men, but it was difficult to tell in the video.

The bizarre shooting happened shortly after 2 p.m., when police responded to a 911 call about two naked men fighting on a bike path along the Causeway, which was packed with traffic on a busy holiday weekend.

Miami police have not confirmed the details of what happened next, but sources close to the investigation told CBS4 News that officers found one man gnawing on the face of another, in what one police source called the most gruesome thing he’d ever seen.

The fight was taking place at the causeway exit near the Miami Herald building, and amazed officers tried to stop it, ordering the man making a meal out of the other man to stop.

Armando Aguilar, who heads the local chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police, said he has spoken with the officer who responded. Aguilar said the officer saw what the man was doing, and ordered him to stop. He said the man growled at the officer, and then returned to his meal.

Aguilar said the man ate his victim’s nose and eyeballs.

The officer then used his service weapon and shot the man, Aguilar said, but the gunshot had no effect.

Other sources confirmed that the man refused to obey, and continued his attack. Aguilar said the officer had no choice but to keep shooting until the attacker was dead.

Investigators sharing limited details about the confrontation, saying only that the two men were fighting and the officers felt they had no choice but to take deadly force.

“During this confrontation an officer did discharge his weapon striking one of the individuals, said Det. Willie Moreno, spokesperson for Miami Police.

But the sources close to the investigation say that dry recitation of the facts apparently doesn’t go far enough. They said the man still would not give in to police commands, so officers fired again.

“That individual has lost his life right now,” Moreno said.

With the attacker dead, lying nude on the pavement, officers and paramedics were able to get to his victim and rush him to Jackson Memorial Hospital. Police sources say the man had virtually no face and was unrecognizable.

Police have shared no information about his identity or condition.

The surveillance video supplied to CBS4 by The Herald under a news sharing agreement is disturbing. At one point, whomever was controlling the cameras zoomed in to the two men lying nude and partially obscured by the MetroMover track. One man is motionless, but the other, presumably the man whose face was attacked, can be seen flailing his legs, possibly in pain.

The Herald used video editing tools to obscure portions of that man’s body as he moved.

The video covers a time frame of about 8 minutes, but despite the shooting of the attacker and the obvious distress shown by the victim, paramedics are not seen attempting to rescue him.

The victim was eventually taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Once the bizarre confrontation came to an end, police were left with the task of figuring out what had happened. The investigation forced the closure of the causeway from Miami Beach to Miami, and also closed an exit to the causeway from I-95.

The investigation snarled traffic for hours and delayed thousands of motorists until ways could be found to get them off the causeway.

Police have had little official to say about the details, and have not released the name of the cannibalistic attacker.

Wow...zombies are real.

I was no bs about to post this to see if one of the more tech saavy members coulud possibly do a check on this for credibility, but looks like DJ already beat me to it. My sister posted it on my facebook page. Seems pretty legit to me. Weird.

[Kemper]

Actually, I think this is what half our members would do if we started tripping on PSP

I first read the article on AOL. Mentioning what was already said in one way or another, this part really grabbed my attention:

Witness Larry Vega told WSVN-Fox 7 he saw a man biting the victim’s face.
He said: “I told him to get off and the other guy just kept eating the other guy away.”
Vega added: “The guy just stood, his head up like that, with pieces of flesh in his mouth. And he growled.”
The officer fired, but the man continued to chew, prompting him to continue shooting, eventually killing him.

This is definitely a weird story, although I don't expect the victim to transform into a zombie in the hospital.

Well, lets hope it isn't a zombie...that would be bad.

Crap ! I was coming here to post this as well. Gotta wonder, the first shots had no effect, was the final shot a head shot ? And can you imagine what was going on in the cop's mind ? I would definately think he was a zombie. LOVE to see his sutopsy report.... like... how long will the coroner say he had been dead. An hour, or a day ?

[kiltedninja]

This is very intriguing indeed. Im wondering/hoping not to read about more incidents like this. But Im quite intrigued.

[Lian]

Interesting little article. I'd sooner point the finger at drugs or mental illness first. At least until such time as reports like this become kind of common. At which point maybe I might actually start considering it a cannibalistic cult or something. Skeptical as i am I'm not going to consider it a zombie until I have to actually fight one off a neighbor or something.

Not the first attack, happened a month ago as well. http://www.nbcmiami....-147758165.html

Police on Tuesday were investigating the death of a man they shot with a stun gun during a confrontation after he allegedly tried to bite another man while naked.

The incident began when officers from the West Miami Police and Miami-Dade Police departments responded to the 2300 block of Southwest 58th Avenue Thursday afternoon to a call of a completely naked man exhibiting bizarre behavior, Miami-Dade Police spokesman Alvaro Zabaleta said.

Zabaleta said the caller told police that the man was trying to bite his neck and tear his clothes off.

When the officers arrived, they encountered George Salgado, who became aggressive and violent towards the officers, Zabaleta said.

The officers used their "Electronic Control Device" on Salgado and were able to restrain him, Zabaleta said. Salgado was taken to Larkin Community Hospital under the Baker Act, where he died early Friday morning.

Zabaleta said the autopsy hasn't been conducted, so the exact cause of death is unknown. The death is being investigated by the Miami-Dade Homicide Bureau, Zabaleta said.

An attorney for Salgado's family claims the 21-year-old was shot with a stun gun "numerous times" and "severely beaten by West Miami police officers."

Attorney Jeffrey Norkin says Salgado was on LSD but was unarmed, and that 10 police officers were on the scene when Salgado was arrested.

So, the pattern thus far is theyre naked, unresponsive to police commands or pain, and theyre tryin to snack on other people. Id like a third before I can call it a baseline, but thats weird.

[Kemper]

It seems to be fatal...Hmmm...they both just happened to die

[Zombody]

Twice? This has happened twice? That's really odd. It makes you think, doesn't it? I'll need to keep my eyes on the news.

[Kemper]

The victims don't seem to change so it is a new classifications.

[Zombody]

Meanwhile, there was news recently about somebody infected with rabies in London. Since then, another person has picked it up. I don't think it'll cause any further problems, but that's another thing we don't need getting around, not that it's an easy process (fortunately).

[kiltedninja]

There was a second slightly similar case about a month ago, in West Miami, look at the zombie talk thread about this case. If cases move away from Miami then Ill start taking notice as it being something other than drug induced psychosis or the like.

LOL, I think you mean PCP, as in 1-(1-PhenylCyclohexyl)Piperidine), not PSP, as in PlayStation Portable. ;-)

I found a vid with a bit of info on it. Apparently it's a nasty drug called bath salts, a type of LSD. The reason they're naked is because they become overheated so they strip off.



PS - There's an annotation link on the vid where some hosts of YTuniversity talk about a zombie apocalypse. Kinda cool.

PPS - Ana Kasparian is a hotty.
