    Nice. Good shoot.

    Passing driver kills man who shot Arizona officer in ambush | abc7news.com

    An Arizona state trooper stopped to help at a car wreck along a remote highway Thursday when he was shot and wounded in an ambush by a man who was bashing the officer's head against the pavement until a passing driver shot him to death, authorities said.

    The trooper suffered a severe wound to his shoulder and upper chest but he is expected to recover at a hospital.

    "My trooper would not be alive without his assistance," Department of Public Safety Director Ralph Milstead said of the good Samaritan who stopped.

    "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." This renowned quote voiced by the NRA's Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre has become a motto for Second Amendment support across the nation.

    Seen this earlier. Awesome job by the bystander! However i bet the media doesn't report to much on it, especially the fact of an armed citizen stopping this attack...doesn't suit their agenda

    Just my speculation as i did not read the article or looked online at the people involved.

    It coukd be that leo was sleeping with this guys women.
    That some side personal deal with bad say on ebay.
    That they were buddies at one point and he was out to get him for prior events.
    Could be a death to all leo situation

    Guess my mind was just thinking if there indeed was more to it then just the headlines.

    We had a case here on ingo nwi about 2 years ago where the headline was just shooter shots up relator office. The turth which never made a headline was the relator stole for thesh ooter in a property dela and the shooter was going to get even with him.

    Even if one of those instances were the case, it doesn't justify killing someone.

    Yeah, there's no possible way that it was just a random shooting. The Trooper was sleeping with the dead woman, before she was dead of course, so her man, the shooter, flipped his car to kill her and get the Trooper to respond to the crash. Unfortunately for him he was just as bad a shot as he was a lover and couldn't finish the job. And it was an unlikely coincidence that the other guy sleeping with the dead woman, before she was dead of course, was on the same stretch of highway and killed loverboy. Its all right there in the article.

    Your explanation sounds reasonable to me... ;)

    Maybe the trooper liked dead chick's, and the now dead guy knew this evil fetish, and just was defending the woman he just killed.

    This seems slightly more plausible than other possibilities mentioned yet.

    The RUSSIANS are covering it: https://www.rt.com/usa/373518-arizona-ambush-trooper-shooting/

    An unknown motorist is being hailed as a hero after he shot and killed a suspect who had ambushed an Arizona state trooper on Interstate 10, west of Phoenix. The trooper had been investigating a car crash when he was shot and rushed by the attacker.

    I'm not a big fan of the media, but can we at least wait to see what they cover and what they don't before accusations of "the narrative" rears it's head?

    "The narrative" is "what will people view and/or click on and make us money" the vast majority of the time.
