RIP young officer, Marine, and new dad.

Did not see this posted, but have not been on FR much in the past 24 hours. I apologize if a duplicate.

Sounds like the dead perp also killed someone else with his motor vehicle earlier this year. Not sure of his immigration status.

If the media isn’t saying, the perp is likely an illegal, and IF so, should have been deported after the first incident.

Two “hispanic” suspects. if illegal the local media will try to hide it for as long as possible. Sanctuary city in a sanctuary state. In the minds of liberals the death of the Officer/Veteran is a small price to pay for “diversity”.
