Her family. It was a female Master Sgt.
And a deputy was killed in a crash responding to assist.

The world is full of these kind of people that have no regard for the law. The guy should have shot himself if he wanted to kill someone. That is why we all sould carry every day and be alert.

Normally I would be all behind what you have just posted, but according to the write up of what happened in Orlando, the 17 year veteran police officer noticed the wanted man, confronted him and when he pulled his firearm, she pulled hers. In 17 years I would guess she was highly trained and obviously she was since she identified the threat. I would have hoped she would have a better outcome than any one of us, but seeing the results, that is open for debate.

My prayers for her family, and for the police themselves as they later lost a second officer in pursuit of the criminal. Truly sad.

Reward is up to $100K. There may not be honor among thieves but apparently among thugs there is. What a culture.
