Six law enforcement officers on Friday night were shot -- 1 is confirmed dead -- in three different U.S. cities, their respective agencies have confirmed.Story here.
In central Florida, two Kissimmee Police Department officers were shot, chief Jeffrey O'Dell said at a press conference early Saturday morning.
Officer Matthew Baxter, a three-year veteran, died. The other officer, 10-year veteran Sgt. Sam Howard, is in "grave critical condition and the prognosis does not look good," O'Dell said.
Gov. Rick Scott erroneously tweeted late Friday night that both officers had died.
One of the four suspects remains on the run. The officers were investigating suspicious persons.
Four suspects? I would like to know more. Was this a planned hit? Gang initiation? Terrorism? Wild hair?
One thing is certain. It's 2017 and being a cop just got a lot harder. The terrible thing? I think this is just the beginning. I sense a serious war on cops coming. I can't explain the feeling but it just seems that a real evil wind is blowing.
