Did anyone notice the house where this happened? For Florence, SC it is a very high end home.

Unusual for this to happen in a setting like that.

Which he? The Washington Post and others say the warrant was not for homeowner. They were for a 27-year old (in one report says 24-year old) that may have been living in the home. Odd they don’t identify the person by name. Was it is kid of the homeowner or renter or guest?

Yep. Glad they took him alive so that he can be put on trial for murder and attempted murder of police officers.

My understanding is that they were issuing a warrant for his arrest.

As usual, you have to go to an overseas newspaper to get any real information.

Sorry all I have is that they went to serve a warrant for someone sexually abusing a child.Shooter shot 3 cops and mayday was sent.The responding officers were shot trying to rescue the fallen officers.The police officer that died was trying to rescue the men.Swat had to come in to rescue the men because of the field of fire..

He’s lucky to be alive. In most cases like this, the cops finish off their attacker even if they are at the wrong address. So much “cleaner” that way with the District Attorney and the local government with any potential lawsuit “out of the way!”

Based on latest reports the first officers on scene were there to serve a warrant on a 27 year-old living in the house. That person is being charged with sexual abuse of a foster child living in the home.

"This is the second shooting of multiple police officers in South Carolina this year. In January, a 47-year-old former banker shot four officers in York county, killing one, after his wife called 911 to report domestic violence. Christian McCall pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life without parole."

There is a War on Cops in South Carolina.

Thanks.

From your link...

Maj Mike Nunn, with the Florence county sheriff’s department, said officers were serving a warrant when the suspect began shooting, wounding three deputies. The deputies had to be removed using a bulletproof vehicle.

Then, four Florence police officers were shot while trying to respond to the initial gunfire, said Allen Heidler, the Florence police chief.

The slain officer, Terrence Carraway, 52, of Darlington, had just been honored for his 30 years of service with the Florence police department.

“I want you to pray for the family who lost the bravest police officer I have ever known,” Heidler said, visibly overcome by emotion at the news conference.

Nunn said the suspect held off police for two hours holding children hostage in his home before eventually being taken into custody. He would not release the suspect’s name or condition and other details were not immediately disclosed. ...”

“So we should see a bunch of white people rioting today and burning the town down.”

This Ambush on the Police may have been racially motivated, but I have not seen any news about rioting.

Brings to mind in several ways the Las Vegas shooter.

The Officer Down Memorial Page http://www.odmp.org had information last night that they were serving a warrant.

Probably a felony warrant given the strong (but obviously not strong enough) response.

There appears to be poor intel on the risk factor. A trained shooter should be considered high risk and only approached by a SWAT type unit.

“False Flag diversion attempt? Yes, the Clowns do kill to shape/change the public narrative.”

No False Flags in the War on Cops.

An officer is dead, others are wounded, and the cop killing thug is is custody.

There is nothing false about this.
