The police spokesman already said it was a handgun.

Mmmmm, Its hard to believe some gang banger is that good of a shot. Pistols are defensive weapons, not offensive. Not one cop got his weapon out????? I smell a cover up. (heads are hard targets even when hit.)

The direct hit and murder has me wondering too.
And then a scruffy looking black man, meaning?
Scruffy or is scruffy a PC descriptive word?

Could be a hired assassin?
Drug Lord could have easily put up $$$ for that to get a job done with clear intent.

Or all these events could be as other have posted independent of each other with no rhyme or reason.

I like the message a freeper posted the other day.

It was the word WORLD in big bold red letters posted upside down.
