TOWN OF SALINA, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — A City of Syracuse police officer and Onondaga County Sheriff’s deputy were shot and killed in the line of duty Sunday night.
“We lost two heroes tonight,” Syracuse Police Chief Joe Cecile said at an early morning briefing outside Upstate University Hospital.
The two were among the officers who responded to a home on Darien Drive to investigate a stolen vehicle, Syracuse Police say.
Darien Drive is in the Oot neighborhood off Hopkins Road.
The incident began when a pair of Syracuse Police officers attempted to pull over the suspicious vehicle near the Tipperary Hill intersection of Emerson Avenue and Hamilton Street, a spokesperson for Syracuse Police said.
After the vehicle sped off without pulling over, Syracuse Police used license plate information to track it to the registered owner’s home on Darien Drive.
Chief Cecile said: “They asked for assistance from the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office because they learned additional information the individual driving the vehicle might be armed. Officers from the city and county arrived at the residence on Darien Drive about the same time.”
It’s not clear how many officers or deputies arrived as part of the initial response.
“While they were inspecting the vehicle and saw what appeared to be guns inside,” the Chief explained, “they heard what sounded like someone manipulating a firearm from inside the residence. Moments later, there was an exchange of gunfire between at least one suspect and the officers and deputies.”
The officer, deputy, and suspect were all hit, driven to the hospital, and pronounced dead.
Police haven’t said how many shots were fired or who hit whom.
While the suspected shooter is dead, the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office was working overnight to get the court’s permission to enter the home to search for others involved in the initial crime. There’s no indication additional people were involved in the deadly shooting.
Outside Upstate University Hospital, hundreds of first responders lined up to support their injured brothers. Once they had passed away, those officers stood at attention and saluted when the bodies were moved from the emergency department to the medical examiner’s officer in a procession.
Damn....just damn...
It’s NYS. Let’s bet he’s out on bail and was released even though he is/was charged with murder..
They didn’t run right out and say who it is and what his demographics are.
Maybe its a terrorist cell,,,,,a lot of guns around. Maybe a drug cartel HQ.
I don’t think they even bother to get bail any more.
Let me guess...nevermind...
But never fear, crime is still dropping rapidly in New Yawk. I still haven’t heard anything about New Yawk banning cop killers. Oh that’s right. You can only ban their guns. Not the maggots carrying the guns and killing cops with them.
How can they track a “stolen” vehicle, by using the “registered owner’s” address? Something I’m definitely not getting here, but I’m old school.
Apparently the genius had put his own license plate on the car...................
Also, a car can be reported as ‘Stolen’ if the finance company stops receiving payments for the vehicle and it can’t be immediately located for repossession..........
Criminals must have forgotten what it means to be dead.
They aren’t Christians, so they just become a mass of cold flesh.
No more parties.
No more getting high.
No more sex.
No more being tough and cool.
Nothing more than a pile of disintegrating flesh.
Well, at least there is that - sparing a long trial for the families of the deceased - where the defense will try to paint the killer as an "honor roll student" who "attended church with his family."
I’m trying to make sense of the police waiting for court permission to enter a house whence a resident just murdered two LE officers. They must be incredibly afraid of defendants getting off on defective search technicalities.
Hopefully they thought to shut off the water supply to limit the dope flushing/massive contamination of the sewage treatment plant.
Two words: Derek Chauvin.
Exactly what I thought. Once again, we have REALITY superseding the "BULL$HIT LIES" we're being fed by BOTH politicians and the MSM!
“ It’s NYS. Let’s bet he’s out on bail and was released even though he is/was charged with murder..”
He’s dead a doornail. How much bail is that?
Dead cops to be charged with a hate crime. /s
NY, so it wouldn’t surprise me.................
