Gunman Ambushes Newport News Officer And Civilian Rider, Shooting Both

I really wish that something could be changed when it comes to a policeman being shot at and killed the horrible people know they will spend time in jail , we need to bring back the death penalty in all States for anyone that shoots and kills a police officer it may help some if they knew it was a death sentance for them just maybe they would think first! policemen in this day and age should only have to give one warning if someone is pointing a gun at them why do they always have to give these jerks so many chances they need to save their own lives too. just saying it's happening all around us and the families of a police officer must always be on edge especially in the Cities so sad.

Bring back public hangings. That would make some folks think twice about shooting others.

All these damn guns! People are good but not for all these damn guns! If we get rid of guns, there wouldn't be anymore killings! It's all Trump and the NRA's fault! I'm leaving this horrible country and moving somewhere safe, like, Somalia or somewhere!

Trueferblue. You are so full of IGNORANCE and STUPIIDITY. WHAT A FKING LOSER. Richard Speck MURDERED 8 Student Nurses with a Butcher Knife....AND Knives are still here. Ted Bundy MURDERED Women by strangling them with their own clothing OR his hands. And men still have hands and Women still wear clothes. Jeffrey Dalmer bludgeoned and strangled his victims. And we still have electrical cords, baseball bats, tire irons. YOU Stupid puke. Go after the Legal ?? system and society. They give scum a "time out" in school or parole for time served when they should be executed for a "First" violent offense. A 100% ban on firearms in civilian hands WILL NOT COMPLETELY elimininate the Senseless Murder of L.E.O.'s. New York State has lost 2 Officers recently to Self Inflicted gun shot wounds. What is YOUR Solution to that ? You Idiot.

Not an ambush.

I do t understand why a news officer and a civilian were in that area.

Got rope!

They need a "stop and frisk" on a Federal nationwide level.

Whatever the answer, thanks for caring.

I was a chaplain ride along for my sheriff's department and let's just say my sheriff was a "bit" different when it came to 2nd Amendment laws, the Feds, and his officers lives. As chaplains, if we were going to go on ride alongs, we were required to go through the same exact training his deputies went through. Yep, hand to hand, combatives, getting tased, pepper-sprayed, the firing range, and he allowed us to carry concealed on the job with officer approval which they all did as we were held to a higher standard.

While I'm no longer a sheriff's chaplain, I'm still a highly trained Vietnam Veteran ready to come to the aid of any LEO who may be in trouble and needing help anytime, anywhere. I've had law enforcement in my family so I understand the sacrifice.
