NASA news conference is saying the Navy will try to shoot down the soon to deorbit spy satellite. Should be fun!

Bob:
Some media reports are comparing the US Navy shoot-down to the one that China conducted recently, which resulted in a considerable increase in space debris in LEO. I can only assume that this is incorrect and that the US Navy will attempt this once the orbit has decayed to the point that the debris will quickly deorbit. Do you have any knowledge or thoughts you can share?
