Regan pressed Smith on why he shot two people at the scene, if he only saw one was armed.

I wonder how hard it was for the cop to hold his tongue when asked such a stupid question.

The article goes on to say that this guy on trial is trying to say the dead guy was the shooter. Well the dead guy can't defend himself.

Siblings Jean and Jonathan Smith are police officers assigned to the NOPD's 5th District policing the 9th Ward and Bywater, the department said. Police said Jonathan Smith was wounded Sept. 14 when a gunman opened fire on him while he worked an off-duty security detail at Gene's Po-Boys in the Marigny.

James Wilson, 26, was booked with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder of a policeman after surrendering to Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's deputies in connection with the Sept. 14 shooting of NOPD Officer Jonathan Smith at Gene's Po-Boys in the Marigny. Wilson is the suspected getaway driver involved in the crime, police said.

Cornelius Barthelemy, 34, is the suspected gunman police say fired upon NOPD Officer Jonathan Smith early Sept. 14 as Smith worked a uniformed, off-duty security detail at Gene's Po-Boys at the corner of Elysian Fields and St. Claude avenues in the Marigny.

BTW, Officer Jonathan Smith suffered a shattered femur from one bullet and partial paralysis from a second bullet lodged near his spine. He spent 2 1/2 years in a wheelchair and on crutches recovering.

A brave guy to be able to return effective fire after a wounding so serious.

How does one get hired on to a major metropolitan police department weighing well over 300 lbs? Buehler? Buehler?

The cop’s alive, one perp is dead and the other perp is going away for a very long time. Other than the cop getting wounded it sounds like a fairly good story.

Blue lives matter a whole lot more than criminal lives.

If you want to rob a business that has a security guard, first you kill the security guard. This is done without even considering that this might be murder. It is no more than smashing a big window.
