I bet this guy was short TASR.....Electric Shock Thwarts Suicide 01/27/2004 10:38:48 BERLIN (Reuters) - German police stopped a man from committing suicide by shooting him with a gun that incapacitated him with an electric shock, a spokesman said Tuesday. The suicidal 37-year-old was holding a knife to his neck and threatening to jump out of a fifth-floor window in central Berlin Saturday when police special forces arrived. Police said an officer shot the man with a "Taser" gun, a U.S. weapon that simultaneously fires two darts to send a 50,000 volt current through a person's body. The jolt gave police just enough time to tackle him back to safety. The man was later treated for self-inflicted knife wounds. Police said they did not know why he wanted to kill himself. Police said they have used Tasers five times since acquiring them in 2001, and saved a life more than once. The stun guns have been used in north America for two decades but are uncommon in Europe. British police fired one for the first time in 2003.
