Sad day cop shot in my hometown.

[Podmonkey]

Guy took 4 rounds of 5.56 and is expected to recover? That is one tough SOB.

Not the best angle, but is that a Daniel Defense stock? They're pretty distinct. Maybe @Podmonkey can tell.

Point being, it's not a cheap, off the street gun.

That is definitely not a Daniel Defense stock. Looks like a Bravo B5 to me.

Per WBEN News Radio - The officer is still in ECMC, but should be released soon. It seems someone got some bad information.

He was released last night around dinner time.
Don’t always trust the media. From what I saw they said he’d be in about 24 hours it was less. I’m guessing all flesh wounds. Haven’t asked yet. I’ll know more later. I’m very close with one of his old partners and I should know more later. I personally know the family and many involved. He lives very close to me. In fact he was released prior to the officer that had the broken wrist. Yes it’s amazing how efficient our hospitals are.

Yes he’s young and in good shape and good health. He is a tough man with great spirits.

The rounds were placed just right and he was well protected from the man upstairs that day. Could have easily went another route.

The rounds did go through a wall so the velocity was slowed and likely saved his ass.

Scumbag is arraigned today on three counts of attempted murder. Hopefully does life in prison.

Also I’ve to hear our council just voted to make the cops pay for their own bulletproof vests. I hope they backtrack on that now as the sit behind their desks.

Wonder how things are going for him in the holding center. He should just off himself now.

I do not want to see no risk sites. I do not want to waste valuable narcan. I do not want to give them fresh needles.

We know what you want and I kind of agree, let nature take it's course! If your stupid enough to do drugs like that then your to stupid to live.

Really wish they hadn't used that headline. Calling him a gun enthusiast makes us all look bad. I don't appreciate that.

Yup. Pretty sure most of us have a "little gun shop."

Absolutely agree with you there on that one. An enthusiast doesn’t just go shoot people for no good reason.

 

[Jem45472]

Shot in the groin, pelvis, buttocks, and 2 to the chest. Can't believe he's out already, gotta be painful.

"Flynn said Gerwitz used a 9 mm pistol without a serial number and an illegally modified AR-15 style rifle in the attacks. "

i don't think he is smart enough or has the skills to do a 80 pistol .. more like used a grinder on a stolen one ..

Flynn’s kind of an asshole. He’s pissed me off on many occasions. Remember they found guns in the home that were not used in the shooting. My understanding is it was the riffles used to shoot at and shoot the cop. Thay may not be 100% accurate. They were still piecing things together.

 

[BuffNiag]

The civilian he initially shot has died. Apparently he was playing Pokemon Go when he was shot.

Yes that’s what I heard and he got too close to the other guys car so he shot him. Pretty fucked up if you ask me.

I have no clue but that guy who he shot looks like he has some sort of developmental disability.

Flynn’s kind of an asshole. He’s kissed me off on many occasions. Remember they found guns in the home that were not used in the shooting. My understanding is it was the riffles used to shoot at and shoot the cop. Thay may not be 100% accurate. They were still piecing things together.

Stop kissing Flynn. You're kinda freakin me out.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Damned auto correct

I heard the officer shot is having a hard time sitting down. Getting shot in the ass will do that to you. He’s in good spirits though.

I’m thinking of having a cookout for all the cops in my town. I know many of them well and I think they would come. Is that a stupid idea. Make a big pan of potatoes, cook dogs and sausages and just say come by anytime and grab what you want. End of the night have the guys take whatever I cooked back to the station for the night shifters. They are working 12 hours days 7am to 7pm.

Sounds like a nice gesture.

 

[Saltwater60]

Got some more details.
the civilian shot and killed was shot with an unregistered 80% glock pistol.
He had many Ar’s with 30 round mags.
I know I don’t have an issue with this either but they are illegal so I mention it.
he had guns at 3 houses, and 80% glock pistols and or an AR at every window.
He had multiple pressure cooker bombs in process, had to go bags packed and ready to go, he had body armor in the house and with him. He also had a suicide attack note prepped and ready to go.

The person I spoke with was glad it happened this way and said if this didn’t happen they fear what came next would have been much worse. This person was shot at so that means something to me.
I know many of the items are not alarming alone but the bombs, the way things were laid out, and the suicide attack note is what puts this all together and makes it alarming to me. Definitely sounds like a domestic homegrown terrorist.

I think its a fantastic idea.

Good. I was just worried they wouldn’t come. I’ll talk with my wife and get it planned out. Most guys in my town are good people that care about the city and all involved. We had two shitty cops. One was charged and convicted and the other was just an old timer stuck in his ways and retired.

By the way watch your ass out there man. It’s getting rough out there and a bit scary. Seems to escalate nightly. No surprise.

Not trying to cost you a shit ton of cash or anything, but you might be able to put together a huge "Thanks to the Cops" event. Get the City to donat a shelter or two in Veterans park and get others involved.

Or, you could keep it simple like you first stated.

Getting ready to go in to work in about an hour. Kind of excited!!!!!!
