Prayers enroute as well.......

Piece of shit killed himself when confronted by officers.


A 24-year-old Anchorage man suspected of seriously wounding a police officer during a traffic stop killed himself late Wednesday as police tried to arrest him, authorities said.

Kenneth Robinson was suspected of shooting officer Jean Mills, 45, early Wednesday as she made a traffic stop in East Anchorage.

Investigators identified Robinson as the suspect and SWAT team officers converged on a house in West Anchorage shortly before midnight, armed with an attempted murder warrant, police spokesman Lt. Dave Parker said.

As Robinson walked outside the home, police tried to arrest him but he pulled out a handgun and shot himself to death.

"He took his own life when confronted by officers," Parker told The Associated Press.

Coward.

Good for him.

Thoughts and Well Wishes for a Full & Speedy Recovery

Prayers from South Florida on a speedy recovery... At least there won't be millions spent on court!!!

So now the media is doing news stories on what a model, but slightly misguided, child the shit bag was. The SB's grandfather is all up in arms that the police had the audacity to contact his grandson without letting him know first, because he would have of course made sure the SB turned himself in peacefully. And it was the police of course that forced SB to put the gun to his head and pull the trigger.

Agreed. He did everyone a favor. That part of the problem is solved now.

I hope the wounded officer can fully recover from this both physically and mentally.

Typical. Like the Police are supposed to know who the GF is, and even if they did and followed through on that course of action the GF might have tipped the SB off and provided him sanctuary among other things. The SB chose to kill himself, LE had nothing to do with that action.

Prayers for a full recovery.

Be safe out there.

Prayers for full and speedy recovery.
