It may be silly and not matter that much all things considered, but I want answers from that guy. Pretty much nothing he said was true with what happened

Like someone said. He may not have saw anything, was in the area, and just wanted his 5 min of fame. This world is full of attention whores.

Have they ever addressed why they believed there were explosives around the city or was that just rumors ?

That, and eyewitnesses in situations like that are generally unreliable as it is.

Long term abuse of a pharmacy full of drugs can do permanent damage to a person's ability to perceive reality with any degree of accuracy.

I am sure they will realize this when questioning him and will disregard his version of events.

It wasn't drugs.

More likely, like the tPOS friend of the criminal in Ferguson, this citizen wanted to lie.

So tragic to think that the officer who called that in may have also lost his life only moments later!

It was definitely him. In the call he says he's "behind the beauty salon with two city officers"

I say this a lot but people don't grasp how far off witnesses can be. They are pretty close to being useless. To really get an idea you need to have seen an eyewitness demonstration, researched the subject a bit, or experienced it yourself.

I recall my wife being in on a demonstration that they didn't know was going to happen. Scenario was basically a guy just ran in, hit a woman, and ran out. Not only did most of the class not identify the culprit, many had the woman hitting the man

unless they head shot him and they're not trained to do that.
You are unaware of the training they go through. Some training teaches to hit center mass, but some guys teach to walk it up and follow the natural kick of the gun

Holy shite. How dumb can she be.... Well she is taking advantage of the black voters in Ohio that dislike Trump. He has basically zero black votes in that state.

They're training probably tells them to shoot whatever they can hit in a situation like that. If you can see his whole body you shoot center mass, if you can only see his head you shoot his head. If all you see is his left pinky toe then you blow off his left pinky toe.

So brad was the shooters original target according to state police. He hears the shots, calls it in, goes to the active scene, tries to save the wounded city cop, and lost his life as a result of trying the save a possible complete stranger(all be another police officer).

If that isn't a hero, I don't know what is. He paid the ultimate price to save another. To think he had a family at home and still thought of others over himself is humbling.

God bless all who protect me and my family.

These events make me so angry.

Does anyone have any volunteer information? I have some time on my hands and I feel it would be better served helping somewhere in town.

One of the most honorable things anyone could ever do. Braver than I could ever hope to be.
