I just drove past there a few minutes ago, a lot of activity, police and yellow tape. Had no idea that this happened.

Same! I was working in Pinebrook across Cortez today and it was definitely a scene. I hope the officer has a speedy recovery

Ask the DA and Judge why the man was walking the streets and not in prison.
