News media has released names. One of the officers who died is the son of the West Memphis Police Chief. They were driving a van registered to a church in Ohio. They shot and killed the two West Memphis Officers, Then they drove to walmart and removed the plates from the vehicle and when officers showed up a shootout began in the parking lot. The Crittendon County Sheriff was shot in the shoulder, and the chief of patrol was shot multiple times in the abdomen and is listed in critical condition.
News media used a scanner to record the radio chatter during the shootout and plans to air the audio.
Both suspects are dead.

I had just taken my mourning band off. Now i've put it back on. Hopefully I will be able to attend the funeral.
The van was a 1994 Plymouth caravan registered to a "church" in New Vienna, OH. The van was not reported stolen. The house of god's prayer church has property but doesn't hold worship services news media is reporting.
The sheriff and his deputy chief reportedly rammed the vehicle in the Walmart parking lot when the van tried to take off. The ensuing gun battle left the sheriff and deputy chief wounded, they were airlifted to the Med in Memphis, TN.
A fund has been set up and you can donate at any SunTrust Bank. The name of the fund is "Fallen Officers of West Memphis Fund"
Prayers for the families of the Fallen Officers and for the officers who were injured. :(
Rest in peace. Hope the injured officers recover quickly.
quote from WREGQuote:
The van has been traced to a church in Ohio which we've learned has been linked to a white supremacist group.
A source tells us the church closed about 10-years ago after it was infiltrated by the FBI.
My condolences, May they Rest in Peace

News Media make me sick.
On request of Law Enforcement Agencies, there is a no-fly-over order for West Memphis, Arkansas as investigators continue to process the crime scene.
Anyone listening to the media's open mike?
