Apparently some guy was ambushing police officers and first responders, so this Marine pilot took off in a CH-46 with an all-volunteer crew, picked up a load of NOPD officers with long guns, and flew into position where he could illuminate the shooter so the folks on his bird and on the ground could get good hits.
https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/...s-killed-dies/Police began firing at him, where he fell dead after having been shot over 200 times reportedly.
I'll pour one out for this guy tonight.
