    Florence, SC OIS

    Anyone know WTF happened? All I’m finding is 4 injured cops, 1 KIA in an “active shooter” incident.

    The Fox News article I read didn't have a ton of info.

    That Fox article is about as useful as tits on a boar. Why do they think I give a crap about tweets with no useful information?

    Prayers for the officers involved.

    Apparently they went to serve a warrant when bad guy opened up on them. 7 LEOs shot, 1 has died. Turned into a 2 hour standoff. BG had kids in the house.

    I really hate how the "Active Shooter" card gets overplayed. This being a prime example.

    I taught a Colt Armorer class to FPD a couple of years ago and they're a solid bunch with some impressive training. This is an excellent example of how somebody with a rifle is big trouble, no matter what side they're on.

    Prayers out to the family and friends of the fallen and injured. Praying for a quick recovery for the wounded, and swift justice for the @$$hat who shot them...

    Whats up with Fox an CNN?

    Really shallow reporting on this incident. What gives? I've gotten far more here than on news outlets.

    Shooter is 74. Vietnam vet and a former lawyer. One prior for . . . I forget. Not super serious crime. So I heard on FoxNews

    Apparently the warrant had something to do with a sex case. Shooter wasn't suspect from what I read on P1.com.

    Definitely an example of what a well trained man with a rifle can do.

    Apparently he was disbarred back in the 80's.
