Wallace was recently married, and had seven children and one on the way, according to a statement from his cousin Carnell Hurley made on behalf of his family.

The guy went after the cops with a knife. Great job putting that in your headline.

You forgot to mention he was armed with a knife and acting crazy. 🙄

Interestingly timed killing, just as Donald Trump is struggling in Pennsylvania voting.

What an absolute garbage headline....the man was armed.

*Justifiably shot and killed*
