NEW RICHMOND, Ohio — An Ohio police officer is being praised for holding his fire even as a slaying suspect charged him, saying repeatedly, "shoot me."

WLWT-TV in Cincinnati reports (http://bit.ly/1EXuKaK ) the tense moments were captured Thursday on a body camera worn by New Richmond officer Jesse Kidder.

The video shows Kidder with backpedaling and telling 27-year-old Michael Wilcox he doesn't want to shoot him.

Great story. Very easily could have been telling a much different story from either side. This could have gone very bad.
