A 41-year-old North Bay man with a felony criminal record attempted to assassinate two Vallejo police officers on a coffee break Sunday night, but his modified assault rifle jammed, police officials said Monday.
The officers ultimately chased Adam Powell, who was wearing body armor, out of the Starbucks on Lincoln Road and shot him three time as he continued to fiddle the weapon — shutting down what police said could have been a bloodbath.

Body armor? Yeah, no intent here. He was just walking around when the police singled him out. /s

A photo released by the Vallejo Police shows that the firearm Powell attempted to use in the attack is a battered AR-15 SBR, almost certainly cobbled together from a standard AR-15 carbine lower receiver and a pistol length upper. It was fitted with a Magpul D60, a 60-round drum magazine.

Police say the kid shot himself, then his dad went to kill cops. Makes sense /saRC
Adam Powell learns what will happen if a Black Lives Matter member with a dysfunctional firearm attacks police officers.
...... and so the guy said “Before I assassinate the cops, I’ll stop for a shot at Starbucks.”
No wonder it didn’t work properly
“No wonder it didn’t work properly”
Too bad it didn’t blow up his duct taped cannister.
Sixty round drums are not legal in California. Bad man! Breaking the law!
Stupid steel casings! :-)
Wondering if he’s a Footsoldier For Farrakhan...
“He was just starting to turn his life around...”
Not only that, but a short barreled rifle like that is illegal in every state.
“he continued to fiddle the weapon”
There’s the reason. You just don’t fiddle any weapon.
.
But but but that rifle is illegal!
Surely that would have prevented him from using it?
There must be some mistake. We know gun laws prevent crime...
.
Clintoon keeps telling us gun laws prevent crime...
Nothing a little duct tape won’t fix.
So long as you fill out the proper paperwork and pay the tax you can own short barreled rifles in many states.
