Under the same link, we find:

In a separate incident, a man stabbed a police officer Saturday while he was responding to a 911 call in Long Island, New York, authorities said.

It's no wonder LE is on edge.
 
The number of police officers being killed or attacked is so sickening. IMO they have a much bigger chance of being shot then even just last year, yet there are ones that think police need to be softer and gentler to criminals.
 
Eastman Police Department officer Tim Smith was on vehicle patrol in Eastman -- located about 140 miles southeast of Atlanta -- when he encountered the suspect walking in a residential area after responding to a suspicious person call around 9:30 p.m., said Georgia Bureau of Investigations special agent Scott Whitley.

ETA: Link above says they arrested the suspect early this morning (around 3am) in FL.

This is the area that all of my family lives in. We were just there in July and when I say "small town" I mean small town. The population is 5,500 and everyone pretty much knows everyone. Hearing some rumors from my friends on FB that the shooting was an accident (said shots were already being fired and LEO stepped in the middle when he got out of his car) but I'm not sure anyone can prove that or not. I did hear that he was able to radio in for help and identify the suspect as well as they have dash cam video but no body cameras. I literally don't know of anywhere I feel more safe than when I go home to visit. We never locked our doors growing up, there were no murders that I know of for a string of several years and it's really just a sleepy little town that you don't go to by accident. Sad times we live in now :(


This is JMO obviously and take with a grain of salt since I "heard from" locals and didn't witness with my own eyes!

Accused Eastman officer killer indicted for malice murder
A Dodge County Grand Jury indicted Royheem Deeds on nine counts (...) including malice murder and felony murder. He is accused of shooting and killing Eastman Police officer Tim Smith in August.

Of those nine counts, five are for the death of Smith: malice murder, two counts of felony murder, aggravated assault on a peace officer, and possession of a firearm by a first offender probationer.
 
A Middle Georgia man accused of fatally shooting an Eastman police officer in 2016 admitted on Thursday to violating the terms of his probation in a prior shooting that left a man wounded in neighboring Telfair County.

Royheem Delshawn Deeds was sentenced to five years in prison for violating his probation.

The development was another step in the run-up to a likely death penalty trial for Deeds in the next year or two, Oconee Judicial Circuit District Attorney Tim Vaughn said.
