Incidents like the one in Alabama and Warrenville, SC are why the Burke County Sheriff's Office just got some new resources to help combat crime... And possibly save lives. As of two weeks ago, Burke County deputies have an additional option to take down suspects and defend themselves.  This gun looks and sounds real, but instead of bullets, small beanbags are released when the trigger is pulled. Now, along with pepper spray, tasers and batons, law enforcement can use non-lethal guns during conflict.
