Not sure what was being used to shoot these cops, but one of the bullets got stopped by a hat? Not even an impressive looking hat.

A photo shared with CBS3 by FOP President John McNesby shows the bullet lodged in the highway patrol officer’s cap after he suffered a graze wound.

Seems like a targeted police shooting more than an attempt at a mass shooting.

But who am I?

People were *told* to run ?

Seems like that's likely to cause more casualties than the shooter.

"Take cover" sure, but "run" ?

If they said "take cover", all the arguments over cover vs. concealment would have caused mass hysteria.
