This tragedy sounds like a police version of the Alec Baldwin case. Except that the retired cop had much more training than Baldwin did.
At least the retired cop was arrested. Baldwin however is still walking free, and mouthing off. I guess being a famous celebrity trumps being a member of the thin blue line.
I’m betting that Baldwin actually has had more training than most cops. His father, whom he said he was very close to, was a Marine and taught riflery. Baldwin was raised with guns. I’ll bet his dad had a nice collection.
