A second Kissimmee Police officer has died after a Friday night attack on law enforcement.
Sgt. Richard “Sam” Howard died Saturday from gunshot wounds he suffered when he and fellow officer Matthew Baxter were shot during a routine stop in the McLaren Circle area, according to a department spokeswoman.
Baxter died Friday night shortly after the shooting.
Kissimmee Police Chief Jeff O’Dell said the officers were investigating three suspicious people about 9:30 p.m. near Palmway and Cypress streets when a “scuffle” broke out. That’s when police say Marine veteran Everett Glenn Miller, 45, shot the officers.
The officers — who were wearing body armor underneath their uniforms — did not have a chance to return fire. O’Dell said “it looked like they were surprised” by the gunfire.
Miller fled to Roscoe’s Bar at 2344 N. Orange Blossom Trail, where Osceola County Sheriff’s Office detectives found him about 11:30 p.m. When the officers approached him, Miller reached for his waistband — but a fast-acting deputy tackled him to the ground and arrested him, O’Dell said.
“Extremely brave and heroic actions by the deputy, there were other pople in the vicinity,” O’Dell said. “They went hands-on, tackled him to the ground and secured him [and] located a a 9mm and .22 revolver on his person.

The second officer who died was Black. This is simply kill the cops by the BLM crowd.
They have gotten away with so much for so long, "why not just kill cops too?"
Prayers for Sgt. Howard, Officer Baxter, their familiea and friends.
Neither officer’s weapon cleared its holster before the perp shot them.
About half the print stories I’ve seen haven’t included the perp’s mug shot. Wonder why...

Because if would be racist? Just wondering.
Cause he’s a negro,
And the media doesn’t want folks to know and fail their narrative/.
What in the world is he wearing?
Interesting name change...islamic terrorism again?
“Everett Glenn Miller changed his name to Malik Mohammad Ali, which is the name listed on Ali’s Facebook account.
Is he wearing a poofy shirt of did they capture him in his grandmother’s night gown?
Seems a bit odd they both died from handgun wounds. Unless the perp went back and finished them off execution style.

What was the motive? SJS, blm, drugs, PTSD, homo sex?

Ping to #8
I’m wondering how the perp got the drop on both officers. And if Kissimmee mandates de-escalation training, if that might have played a part in this.

Good question.
Vests only cover about 40% of the deadly wound entry points.
With decent ammunition, any head, neck, shoulder (from the side), groin or fast bleeding femoral artery wound will all be fatal within 1 minute, some with .01 seconds.
that look of entitlement....and evil......
Probably a combination of a drug deal about to go very bad and an attitude of BLMism.
