In an "ambush like" attack with an "automatic rifle" 2 deputies are killed and 2 more wounded.

Google turned up plenty of links from other newstainment sources so I'll just leave the first link I stumbled across.

I am not certain what cops can do to avoid stuff like this.  It really underscores the fact that police do their job assuming that 99.99% of the people they deal with won't shoot at them.

And where was Steven Seagal?

Isn't this his neck of the woods as a volunteer, unpaid, super back up reserve Captain who occasionally makes TV shows about this?

At Krispy Kreme?  I think ole Steven really warmed up to the "eat donuts" part of playing cop.
