Let go

Down in Roanoke:

Police found Sharif Almalik (also spelled Amalik), aka Samuel Johnson, 43, holding the woman hostage with a knife to her throat. When Almalik attempted to pull the woman upstairs, an officer shot him. Almalik was pronounced dead at Carilion Roanoke Memorial shortly afterward.

...

The Roanoke City Sheriff's Office said that Amalik had been released by mistake on December 1.

Now that's fucking up.
