Loss of life is terrible...comes with this particular profession however.
Let us not forget that these men and women who choose the 'blue' do so voluntarily. They know the risks, just as much as a worker in the logging industry, who have a higher mortality rate than cops.
It's a job.
I wonder what the warrant was for that was worth so much carnage.
Probably drug related.
Casualties of the war on people...
Hope it was worth it.
RIP
And it begins....smh
I gave my condolences and thoughts. Nothing about guns either way.
Would you like to think and speak for me? Or is there a certain criteria for sharing ones opinion as to not offend your delicate sensibilities?
Again...loss of life is terrible.....and RIP....
And yeah, I hope it was worth the bloodshed, but I guarantee it wasn't no matter how you justify it.
Period.
A suspect has been detained after seven police officers were shot in a residential neighborhood in South Carolina, according local authorities. One officer died in the shooting, the Florence County coroner confirmed to ABC News. That officer was identified as Florence Police Department veteran Terrence Carraway, 52, of Darlington. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

This is just so sad to see so many people from the LEO community being shot down...
This made the news over here in France about 5 hours ago.
My deepest positive thoughts and condoleances go out to all officers and officers families involved.
I am not at all looking forward to the usual pathetic and deeply sad tirade of pro and anti gun people coming on this thread here to grind their teeth and fiercly smash their keyboards to smithereens in order to make this sad story all political when the USA wakes up in about 5 to 6 hours depending on where they are from in The USA (Time zones).
How sad.
Kindest respects

Agreed and well put this thread isn’t meant to harbor any of that BS I don’t care your politics this is tragic....
Totally agreed Dave.
I wish they would give their BS a rest in tragic times such as this, but they can't control themselves as they don't have another life outsides of politics unfortunately.
Lets see how this thread goes and see if certain people can show their true respect and true selves without getting all political as usual when they wake up.
Sadly.

That is a lot of wounded officers and one dead.
Just saw the story. Apparently it was in a multi million dollar home and there were kids inside.
Still no idea who the suspect is. I believe they say he was arrested....so not killed.
Hope he gets the book thrown at him.
The gunman, who was not identified, was arrested Wednesday night, officials said. He surrendered after talking to a negotiator and was taken to the hospital for treatment, Florence County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Glenn Kirby told WBTW.
It's unclear if he's facing any charges and whether authorities determined why he opened fire.

I could be wrong, but I think by random they just meant routine. Nothing to indicate that the suspect would be armed and dangerous.
I don't think they meant random, random. Like they picked a house out of a hat and just went to go check it out with no prior cause.
