A freeper posted a personal account of this killing just yesterday. The poster said the killer was a freeper, but I don't recall his screen name. It was not the one mentioned in this article.

It became clear to the trooper that something was terribly amiss when he walked toward the car and noticed Matthews pulling a large gun from under the car seat. Hershey backed away and returned to his cruiser.

I don't get this. Why didn't Hershey just shoot Matthews as soon as Matthews went for the gun? Did he figure that Matthews was about to get out the vehicle with the weapon, or what? Maybe some of our freeper LEOs can explain this to me.

City police, area troopers and investigators from Columbus announced that they were trying to determine whether Matthews, whom friends described as a staunch constitutionalist, had ties to the Ohio Militia.

Is this code for something??

Taylor, who also fired back, was hit and dropped to the gravel. His bulletproof vest didn’t save him

Interesting little factoid .... police vests can't stop a Tokarev or Cz52 round ?
