The gun enthusiast who nearly killed his small town's police chief last week is a free man since cops couldn't find enough evidence to charge him and keep him behind bars. Sentinel, Oklahoma Police Chief Louis Ross was shot four times that morning while raiding a house in connection to a bomb threat at a school, and only survived thanks to a bullet-proof vest he borrowed at the last minute. [snip}
Horton and his wife were arrested in the aftermath, and he later told investigators that he didn't know police were breaking into his home, which Chief Ross finds skeptical. [snip]
'He thought he was protecting his home and his wife. He didn't know what was going on until the door was busted down. And you have a right to protect your family and that's what he was doing.' Despite finding seven firearms and a explosive device in Horton's home, police say they didn't have enough evidence to charge him and he was released from jail later that day.

No warrant: check.
No research into where the call in question came from: check.
Clean shoot. Perhaps this town needs a new police chief, one who is actually competent to do the job.

Despite finding seven firearms and a explosive device in Horton's home, police say they didn't have enough evidence to charge him and he was released from jail later that day. I wonder what the "explosive device" was?
If it was really an "explosive device" the BATFE would have him in custody right now.
My bet is it was reloading supplies.

If this is the same case, an anonymous call was made to the police saying there was some sort of emergency at the address. The police decided to SWAT the residence and broke down the door with no warning and no announcement that they were the police. The homeowner, thinking he was being invaded, shot the invaders.

Around the time of the reported bomb threat, Horton was up posting about fear that Sharia law would spread to America. In another post he compared the U.S. to Nazi Germany and in another he criticized the White House sent officials to Michael Brown's funeral (who he called a thug) and none to Paris after the Charlie Hebdo massacre, And the racially-charged posts didn't end there..... Those are racially charged posts?

As time goes on I expect to see more stories like this. It was just another Home Invasion... this time by the police.

n a press release issued Friday, the OSBI said it had determined the bomb threat call did not originate from the man’s house. Dlugonski said the caller used the resident’s name, KFOR reported.
KFOR reported that officers entered the house without a search warrant.
