The shooter could’ve been waiting for ANYBODY to stop and clear the trash. And, it just happened to be an officer upholding his pledge to “Serve and Protect”.
Prayers for his family.
“And, it just happened to be an officer upholding his pledge to Serve and Protect.”
It has been a long time since Serve and Protect has been a part of a LEO’s creed...
That was my first guess too, since we're all guessing. It was nothing personal. The shooter would have happily shot anyone who stopped to remove the debris.
