Woah! Why would he be wearing a bullet proof vest? It sounds more than a routine traffic stop to me. This guy was ready for a gun fight with some serious fire power.

The cops were in the area because there had been a rash of crimes of some sort. They saw the guy driving erractically and pulled him over. Apparently he came out shooting, so he must have been waiting to get busted. They keep changing the number of cops shot from two to four, so I'm not sure how many.
 
Unfortunately one of the officers has just died.

God be with the family of this officer and the other three.
 
4 cops were shot, 2 plainclothes, 2 regular. This is in my area I am not even certain I will be able to go home when I get off work.
My thoughts are with the injured police, their families and all of the other police involved.

Be careful Observer this guy is out there and very dangerous.
 
Please do be careful Observer. They opined that since he abandoned his car, he's close by and he's desperate. He wouldn't hesitate to take someone hostage.
 
I've been watching this on Fox News. Yes, please do be careful Observer. I may open a new window and watch from Jeana's channel 10 feed if it streams.
 
They showed a clean shaven picture and are saying he was clean shaven now and do not look for the bearded suspect.
 
I just called the police department to see if I could go home. They couldn't give me an answer, she said that there were several areas closed and if I live in one of them I can't get home. I even told her where I live and she couldn't give me an answer.
Then again I suppose they have to be careful because I could be a friend of the killer trying to find out what areas are blocked.
Damn. I sure don't want to get jacked or find someone at my house. Hope they catch this jerk soon.
