FLORENCE COUNTY, SC (WMBF) - Deputies have identified the alleged shooter who opened fire Wednesday on law enforcement officers in Florence County, killing one officer and injuring several others, according to Florence County Sheriffs Office Chief Deputy Glenn Kirby.
Kirby identified the suspect as 74-year-old Fred Hopkins who lived at the home on Ashton Drive where the incident occurred. Hopkins suffered a head injury and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Law enforcement officials are unable to speak with the suspect at this time due to multiple health issues, Kirby says.

If it was a white male, the name and pic would be all over the news.

BEFORE I get worked up over this, how about someone explaining WHY police were involved or at the house in the first place. Was there something going on, was this a SWATTING gone bad (all are bad), did the police go to the wrong address. I’ve read about half-a-dozen news reports and absolutely none say why police went there in the first place. I’m growing suspicious.

A 74 year old was able to shoot five police officers?
I don’t know any details but that seems odd.
Screw his health issues, get in there and interrogate him.

Specifically, was this self-defense by the 74-year old homeowner? Police silence suggest it was and they are scrambling for excuses.

I understand cops not shooting with children inside.
I do NOT understand how 5 cops make themselves targets?

While allowing for the possibility of an ambush, did the police involved consider taking cover after the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or even 6th officer was struck?

Oh, just now read that the suspect was a 74-year-old. And the guy in the pic that I posted is no way that old. So why was he there? Was he one of the victims?

Good point. Prince Georges County Police in Maryland recently did a no-knock entry on a house. The homeowner fired a shotgun and hit two officers before they identified. He dropped the gun immediately.
He was not charged and immediately and publicly apologized to. The police went to the wrong house. Officers not badly injured.

Heard this morning on the news that they were serving a warrant for suspected sexual abuse of children and that there were several children in the home when the shootings occurred.
