    WASHINGTON - AN OFF-DUTY police officer faced criminal charges and possible suspension after pointing his service revolver at an actor playing a zombie at a Halloween-themed haunted house, officials said on Thursday.

    Police sergeant Eric Janik on Monday allegedly pointed his service gun at an actor playing a chain saw-wielding zombie at the 'House of Screams' near the north-eastern US city of Baltimore.

    Reports said Janik, who was accompanied at the haunted house by his nine-year old daughter, pointed the gun at a man playing a character from the zombie movie Texas Chainsaw Massacre, after the overzealous actor pursued the pair throughout the house.

    Authorities told AFP that Janik was charged with assault and reckless endangerment. He was suspended without pay from his police duties pending a formal hearing. -- AFP

    He didn't go far enough if you ask me. Damn zombies:mad::p

    When you double tap a zed they can't press charges.

    Uh... I know I am no filmimic expert but.. Isn't Texas chainsaw Massacre a slasher, not a zombie movie?

    (Still, good on the cop. Can't trust those reanimated bastids.)

    yeah, it wasn't a zombie movie.

    Guess he works on the the rule, 'if looks like a zombie and acts like a zombie, it must be a zombie'

    Imagine if he'd worked security at a George Romero movieset:eek::pac:

    I'd have to defend the cop on this score. Definitely better to be safe than sorry :D

    Actually the cop was drunk, and the actor was dressed as Leatherface

    That's what Leatherface gets for cameoing in Resident Evil 4.

    Lol and he did it all infront of his 9 year old daughter. That would possibly scar her for a while, seeing you're drunk dad pointing his revolver at a Zombie.
