74 years old. Betcha the old fucker had dementia.Dementia and guns. What could possibly go wrong?

Of course, maybe he doesn’t have dementia and is just an asshole.

14. A child support court case judgement

stated that someone with the same name was a wounded Vietnam vet pensioned for his injuries. I am wondering if that might have something to do with it as well.

6. Appears he was in the home with a suspected pedophile

Went off when a search warrant was being executed.

http://www.wmbfnews.com/2018/10/04/deputies-identify-florence-county-shooting-suspect-year-old-homeowner/

According to Kirby, deputies were executing a search warrant was for unnamed person in the home in relation to an alleged sexual assault of a minor who was a foster child in the home. Kirby confirms the alleged shooter was not the suspect they were investing.

10. From what I read, an upscale normally quiet area.

May explain why police got surprised.

[Blue_true]

9. It was released yesterday.

Apparently nothing happens in the small town normally. Maybe a domestic dispute turned violent, he was holding kids hostage.

[Separation]

13. What blows my mind

Is that this old guy wasnt even the target of the warrant.

Could this be a horrible case of police raiding a house and the homeowner defending himself?

I dont know, but that part doesnt make sense to me.

[hack89]

15. The police were executing a search warrant

for a 27 year old man who lived there and is suspected of sexually molesting a child. That man was also shot.

[USALiberal]

16. If a no knock warrant I understand opening fire if you don't know who it is. Nt

[Blue_Tires]

22. He's a pederast...

[Separation]

23. Welp, thats one google definition rabbit hole that I regret doing.

Yea, I knew that the guy they were persecuting the warrant for, was the younger guy.

I was wondering why the older dude shot at the cops. Was it a possibility that they did a no-knock raid and he thought he was under attack?

I'm sure there has been an update that I haven't seen yet that probably updates it a bit more, from when I originally saw it earlier this morning.

17. Aaaand

WHITE!!

[MrScorpio]

19. Fred Hopkins

Disbarred lawyer, Vietnam vet and general asshole. The second I heard that he was taken into custody without being shot to death, I knew that he was a white guy.

[HipChick]

21. Yup...that always a good indication...
