CINCINNATI, Ohio — A university wants the death of a southwest Ohio teenager hit by a campus officer's stun gun investigated by state authorities.
The University of Cincinnati on Monday said it has asked the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation to review the death of 18-year-old Everette Howard, who was attending summer classes

Any time a taser is used and a death results, we hear an outcry from people saying that it was the taser that killed the person, that tasers are bad and should be banned. Of course, for every person thats hit, and dies, there is another that is hit, and does not die, including LEOs, who in many cases, are hit with them during training/recert classes.

IMHO, while I personally have never been hit with one, can't believe that these devices are the cause of death.

I'm interested in hearing from our fellow LEOs and others, who have experience with these tools.
