Mark, I think its about 30-40 miles from Terry.

Its a sad day for police when they lose 4 in one incident...

[FloridaOrange]

on second thought.......

I would second that, as that would be the best closure. A bullet is a lot cheaper than a trial.

RIP

They are saying there was an accomplice, and the guy who did it was a former police officer?


Rumors I'm sure, but there's certainly a method of reprisal that's the reason for this event.

[Gary Swart]

No, the former police officer is the owner of the shop.

They are pretty sure they got the guy cornered...he is has been shot...

Now you know why Police don't want you getting out of the car.

Never know when one is a crazy.

My thoughts go out to the families.

They have a person of interest,

I asked a former cop how some guy could get the drop on four police officers.
He told me of several ways that it could easily be done.

Really the one thing the US has had going for it, has been the cooperation between people.
We as a culture give others their space and respect.

It's not hard being a bully, which is the case here, where it's almost a random incident, a lone guy walks into a coffee shop, like everyone else for that matter.
Nobody's going to look twice at someone in a coffee shop.
It's sanctuary there, getting your cup of Joe, and catching up on the news.
The tough job, is trying to help others, and being thrown into known risky situations. That's what police do, every day.
It's just a darn shame.

Holy moley Terry, they just said on the news that that guy is right in your back yard. I'd be loading up

When I went to Washington DC to do some plumbing for my brother, I was shopping at a hardware store where the DC Sniper had picked off a customer. That was kind of creepy.
My son was working in one of the neighborhoods today, where they they they had this guy cornered.
Not caught yet, as far as I can see.

I like to sit facing the room too.

I like to sit facing the room too.
Unless I'm at Hectors in Kirkland.
Last time there, I was telling Cathy we were getting the corner table that faces outside. I had a newspaper with me.
We got it.

I have a freind that is a former police officer and we go to lunch on fridays...

He always takes the seat in the very back corner of the place and he always sits with his back to the wall sitting faceing out towards the entrance ...so he can see who is comming in..
