Greensboro, North Carolina, police officer Michael Horan was shot and killed Monday while confronting a man who had been reported with a firearm in a Food Lion grocer.
ABC 11 reported that Horan arrived on scene, confronted the man, and “a brief struggle ensued.” During the struggle, the man pulled his firearm and shot Horan, killing him.
The Duplin County Sheriff’s Office noted, “The suspect fled the scene and was taken into custody by law enforcement after a high speed chase that ended near the Duplin County.”
Horan joined the U.S. Coast Guard in 2000 and became a police officer in 2018. He was a husband and a father.

Lots of info missing. Why were the cops called in the first place, was the perp displaying the gun or was he CC and accidently exposed it. Was the deputy uniformed or was he wearing street clothes .Did the deputy try to disarm him and if so for what reason. Lots of questions.
“The State Bureau of Investigation said that shortly after Horan arrived, he encountered 34-year-old Tarell Isaac McMillian....”
“Tarell”
FIRING SQUAD!
“no indication of the perp”
GSO is next door to us. Wife and I said the same thing— The conspicuous absence of a description likely means: druggie, illegal, or BM. Almost always, sadly.
Another off-duty officer was killed at the very end of last year not far away in Colfax. Horrible for those families.
I suppose if the perp had been killed in the process, there would be riots, and statues of him would be erected in town squares.
No doubt one of Obama’s sons.
“Notice no indication of the perp”
The problem now is that even posting his name, much less his photo, gives away problem - same problem Europe has. I suspect that pretty soon they’ll use AI photos and fake names for these cases.

What’s a GSO?
You would think that if a cop was heading into such a situation, he would have his firearm in his hand and ready to use.
God bless this officer and his family/loved ones.
No, not really unless the perp was displaying it in public. The better solution would have been for him to have backup before confronting the perp. If two officers were there I doubt the perp would have pulled his weapon but if he did, the backup would have had the drop on him.
Anyone else wondering if LE personnel are so terrified of getting sued and arrested that they are putting themselves and others at greater risk...?
See my post 15 above.
Looked at the screen and shouted "b*stard" !
This one merits the death penalty. Wonder if Brandon is awake now?
Saw an interview last week with Lt. Randy Sutton, LVPD. He stated that, so far this year, 70,000 police officers have been attacked on duty in this country.
There is a charity which offers help - "The Wounded Blue".
It also supports families of those killed in the line of duty.
God bless them all!
Despite being captured, the name of the murderer has still not been released, or at least been reported by the Enemedia.
Of course, if the murderer was a MAGA supporter, his life story and the names of his contacts would already have been published by the Enemedia.
