The shooter tried to rob a game stop while cops were inside.

His poor family. What a sad, sad thing.

A shame the criminals didn’t wind up dead and not the officer.

Police say the incident began as Officer Wilson III was inside a GameStop store located at the shopping center. Two suspects entered and announced a robbery and there was an exchange of gunfire. The officer's partner, who was outside at the time, heard the gunfire and ran into the store. There was more gunfire between police and the suspects and one of the suspects was shot and wounded.

Being in a place with an unexpected event can be hazardous as ya usually don't know how many bad guys are actually working together. Many times a bad guy will act as if he a loner, as an accomplice watches his back at a short distance.

You need to stop being such a jackass with your slandering of FReepers. I know FReepers who are anti-BAD-COP but none that are anti-Cop generally.

The female reporter referred to the suspect as a “young man.” Why would they refer to this sub-human as a man. This sub-human needs to be exterminated.

Really?

One of the bad guys announced it was a robbery and a lone cop who happened to be in there was shot to death.

Ping me when someone comes in here blaming the cop in this event. Bet I have a long wait for that ping.
