Those street names sound sort of familiar, isn't that down in Shoctoe Bottom, near the river? If so I know that that is hipster central for the RVA area. In which case a kilt might actually be more common than saggy pants.

Not really that far down (Shockoe Bottom is further east around 17th Street).  This was more on the western side of Downtown Richmond, near 3rd Street Diner. 

No less hipster though, since you are approaching the VCU area at that point.

Apparently they actually shot him somewhere near 3rd and Main.

Did they call bomb squad in? Unexploded Scotsmen can be very dangerous.

One of the pics showed him on the Canal walk though.  And he came by Brown's island.

Yes, apparently he walked from around the Shockoe Bottom/Slip area up to 3rd Street before he got popped. 

I was just stating he wasn't in the Bottom/Slip area when he got shot.

I wonder if he was shouting "there can be only one!"?

Well, its still unknown if he's Scottish, Irish, mix or possibly even neither. 
I can't tell what clan he is by the tartan the deceased was wearing. https://www.kinlochanderson.com/tartan
I think he's a full blown whack job for bringing an ax to downtown area and attacking cops with it.

Will he come back to life since they didn't cut his head off?

I didn't see any sudden lightning storms in the area, so there was no Quickening.  He will be back.

Between this and the active shooter in Williamsburg today, it has been interesting in Richmond/Central Va today.

I knew it was a matter of time, but now the armchair quarterbacks are coming out on social media here and saying, couldn't they have shot him in the leg, or used less than lethal force.

More today on the deceased.

Link

On Facebook, Schoessel made several references to historical European martial arts, or HEMA, a modern-day take on medieval swordplay, and Odinism, an ancient religion dedicated to the Norse gods. Friends lamented his death, but many made reference to a recent change in his behavior. Others said he wouldn’t hurt anyone.

He was armed with at least one weapon and charged the officers getting close enough they tried to tase him ,said a witness.



Dad seems to be realistic , not one utter of Dindoo

" “We are heartbroken and devastated by this tragic loss,” Robert Schoessel said of the death of his son, Alexander J. Schoessel.

“We are so sorry for this whole thing and are glad that no one else was seriously injured,” he added, speaking Wednesday from the doorway of his split-level brick home on Rochelle Road in Chester where, according to a neighbor, he lived with his son"

Suicide by cop, suck for the officers..
