LANCASTER, TX – The son of new Dallas Police Chief David Brown killed a Lancaster police officer and another man during a Sunday melee that left three people dead, according to a law enforcement official.

A law enforcement source who is familiar with the case and who asked that he not be identified said Brown had been behaving erratically

Wearing boxers, sunglasses and no shoes, Brown apparently killed a man who had just pulled into the complex in his car with his wife and children. A short time later, he shot and killed Craig Shaw, a five-year veteran of the Lancaster police force who was the first officer called to the scene.

"This community has lost a good officer, a very good officer. We are heartbroken," Lancaster Police Chief Keith Humphrey said.

Shaw, 37, a father of two, was the first Lancaster officer fatally shot in the line of duty.

The news is saying it's official now:

The Police Chief's son killed both the officer and the man who had just drove up into the parking lot with his wife & daughter in the car. The people in the car were apparently total strangers and did nothing to provoke the gunman. They even raised their arms when they saw the gun, but he shot them anyway, right before the officer arrived.

Add me to that list. We probably will never find out what led Brown to snap. My condolences.

Did you see the other thread in the news section? They gave this cop-killer's funeral a full police escort, just because he was the new chief's son.

I cannot imagine any greater insult to Officer Shaw's family. I imagine every officer in the area is livid over this.

Rest in Peace, and I trust that your Dallas brothers will handle the idiots who insulted you in this way.
