2 WV State Troopers Shot to Death

[Preacherman]

On Tuesday evening about 8:00 pm 2 WV State Troopers were shot to death in a rountine traffic stop. They missed locating the High Point 9mm in his pants. Both were shot in the back of the head. He then shot a tow truck driver before fleeing on foot. He was located about 500 yds across the creek waiting to ambush others. He was killed in a gun battle with Deputies one of the deputies was hit 4 times but will surrive, thank God. The killer was hit 5 times in the center of the chest with an AR  before he stood up 13 more from it and 5 rounds of 00 buck finally put him down for good. Please pray for the families one will be laid to rest tomorrow.

I missed that in the news.  What a horror.  If you ever want to meet a nice person, meet a WV Trooper.  They are among the best the nation has.   They work alone most all the time, and some of the places in WV are not nice places even to drive through.  Brave men all--the West Virginia State Police.

How in Hades can you miss a 9 mm Hi Point??
 
BTW Did this guy wear armor??

Sounds like this guy was doin somethin like PPC. No pain threshold at all. Had a friend once that was being beaten with his own baton. Officers said as they were runnin down the sidewalk to help him that every time they heard his 41 mag go off, goose down came out the back of the perp's goose down vest.
The officer was on his back, and the perp was standin over him beatin him. Either 4 or 5 times in the chest with a 41 mag, and he fought the officers who drug him off the friend. He was dead before they got the cuffs on him. Hell he was dead on his feet and just didn't know it.
As far as missin the Hi Point, I doubt they physically searched a routine traffic stop offender. Visually missin one is not hard given today's dress codes. I don't second guess shootings unless I was there.

No body armour one trooper always looked for drugs, the other was everybodies best friend until you proved him  wrong, also they cuffed him in the front, the guy cool as anything they even called his sister for him to come bail him out. He just snapped or something, he begged  the police to shoot him a couple years earlier ( too bad they didn't). Anyway it happened laid one to rest today the other Wensday.
Justice was served that night on Mr. Baber, should happen more often.

Sure sounds like PCP or some such crap..   Yep;  legalize the stuff...only sensible thing to do..just like repealing prohibition stopped people from drinking and getting drunk.
