People’s reactions to this shooting

Kyle McIntyre said,

Guy committed armed robbery, shot at and hit a police officer sending him to a level 1 trauma center. The officer after being shot and struck returned fire. Please tell me what the officer did wrong. I’d love to know how you can twist this any other way.

Niya’s Knocking posted,

It does not matter if he shot at an officer or didn’t. This young man committed armed robbery, it was not worth his life. I do not understand the thought process of some of these young people today; they want it fast. Carjacking and robbing will get you killed. The unmitigated gall of thinking you can take things people work hard for. The sad situation my condolences to his loved ones.

Angel Rose commented,

Well while it’s sad that he has passed away he still committed a crime. As an Officer that was working in the area at the time of the incident, there’s no need to be robbing anyone or shooting at anyone unless it’s in self-defense mode period.

Moore Brenda said,

At the end of the day everyone on this earth that God has created for us to do no wrong. None of us is perfect and we all have done things that we now look back on regret at the end of it all we all have to answer to the higher above and he is God.

J Joy Robert said,

He was a handsome young man; why not get a job? I’m sure someone was willing to hire him. Committing a robbery and shooting a police officer it’s very hard to have sympathy when the person was involved in criminal activity. Doing wrong eventually catches up to you.

Lawrence Hawk said,

Our youth is so messed up in the head and also out of control!! When you rob people its only two ways out jail or dead

Melinda Paula said,

He got what was coming for him. Armed robbery gets you killed or in jail. He made a bad choice, so suffer the consequences.
