Per foxnews alert!
A policeman stopped a man during a traffic stop.
Bob Ross shot himself in the head last night during a traffic stop.
He is apparently one of two of the killers.
He had a grudge against the legal system.
bttt
Thanks for that post- I'd be very interested to see more details of his case.
Also, he had in his possession the names of at least two more federal judges who live in the Milwaukee area and who had issued judgements against him. Good work by the police work may have prevented more killings.
That is not him. That guy has been dead for years.
Wow that is very interesting.
But who would have helped this guy?
I'm not sure it was good work by the police. Not to rip on the police force, but they happened to have stopped the guy on a traffic violation. That's all.
Someday JR will let me embed sounds in my posts, and then I can have a rimshot for some of them ;)
The Police Chief praised the officer because the man killed himself..firing a shot. And the officer was calm enough not to fire back.
He also called backup and followed policy before going up to the vehicle.
I think they did a great job.
Following policy, of course that's a good thing.
But it's not like they didn't find the guy on happenstance.
From what they said he was lurking outside of a school.
The officer had to go on another call...and left.
Then the officer came back and the guy was still there.
The officer tried to pull the guy over..and he shot himself.
You mean it wasn't Richard Jewel, oh I mean a white suprecist! What about the Halliburton link?
Sorry,I was getting carried away on a media band wagon.
I'm not arguing with you at all- i agree that the police did a good job.
I just wonder if they had him in his sights as a suspect before this happened? doesn't seem like it. Though eventually had they scoured the judge's cases they would have zeroed in on him.
Investigators found a suicide not which talked about the judge.
His last known address was on Chicago's North Side.
I think he was a suspect, but I don't think they were following him or anything.
It's 'Bart Ross'.
The officer observed him sitting in a vehicle near a school in a vehicle with out-of-state plates. He decided it was a bit unusual so he continued his observations, noting the man seemed to be writing something. When the man noticed he was being watched, he started to egress the area and when he did a u-turn, the cop had a reason to pull him over. I'd say this was heads-up work by the officer.
I just wonder if they had him in his sights as a suspect before this happened?
Yes, according to CNN.
He was either really determined to commit suicide or he was planning hundreds of murders. Those, of course, are the only reasons for anyone having that much ammunition.
Bart Ross, had appeared before U.S. District Judge Joan Lefkow in the past, the Chicago Tribune reported Thursday. The paper said Lefkow had heard a medical malpractice lawsuit Ross had filed against the University of Illinois over cancer treatment. Ross had represented himself, and Lefkow dismissed the case, according to the Tribune.
Investigators were looking at Ross -- but not intensely -- in the deaths of Michael Lefkow, 64, and Donna Grace Humphrey, 89, police told CNN. The judge found their bodies in her home February 28; both had been shot to death.
On Wednesday night, police in West Allis, Wisconsin, pulled Ross over for a faulty taillight, Jim Warren, deputy managing editor of the Tribune, told CNN. The man then shot himself.
A note left in the minivan said he had killed Lefkow and Humphrey, the Tribune reported. One of the details in the note was where Lefkow's body had been found, something police had not released, Warren said.
Ross' note blamed the judge for the loss of his home, family and life, Warren said. He previously lived on the North Side of Chicago, but neighbors told the Tribune they had not seen him in several months, and there were indications he may have been living in his van, Warren said.
