Lorain Police Officer Phillip Wagner died Thursday from injuries sustained in an ambush shooting Wednesday afternoon. Officers Wagner, Brent Payne and Peter Gale were shot in an ambush around 1 p.m. Wednesday in the area of Missouri and Colorado avenues in Lorain. According to Failing, the suspect was also parked at the dead-end with an arsenal of weapons and was “lying in wait.”
Failing said Parker then opened fire with a high-powered rifle, hitting both officers, who returned fire. Officer Payne called for backup while enroute to the scene to help the officers. He was shot several times in his patrol car.

I’m reading attacks on LEO’s almost every day lately. I blame the radical Supervisors, Mayors, Governors, and other authorities for their insane ant-police rhetoric and policies. It is now open season on LEO’s. I wish the next so-called peaceful protest where the LEO’s are attacked they start firing live rounds. Yes, I mean that.
I blame obama.
“””His parents still live in the home, Burnsworth said, but she hasn’t seen them since Wednesday.”””
Might want to look for them.
Even before the anti-ICE incitements by Sen. Padilla, Maxine Waters and Tim Walz and others....
A couple of cases.
Earlier story in 2014.
On December 20, 2014, Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley shot and killed Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu – two on-duty New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers sitting on stakeout duty in a parked parked police car at night– in the Bedford–Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn.
Later, after killing his ex-girlfriend he turned a gun on himself and killed himself.

Totally agree! The minute LEO’s are allowed to fight back and a few “protesters” take a dirt bed I think we will see less of this madness!!
So sorry, my heart breaks for his family and friends. I pray God will give them comfort, strength and fortitude to face each day as it comes.
Ignore that stench from the basement,....probably nothing.
