WATCH: Cops Walk Up to Innocent Family's Home, Shoot Dad Through the Door-NO Jail

Lynchburg, VA — On the night of February 17, 2018 Walker Sigler, his wife Kate, and their children were asleep in their home doing nothing wrong and harming no one when two Lynchburg police officers came to the door. As Sigler woke up to the noise, the officers opened fire through the closed door and shot Sigler. This innocent man’s leg was shattered and he was nearly murdered because two trigger happy cops were scared of their own shadows.

In June of last year, Officers Edward Ferron, 41, and Savannah Simmons, 22, were both indicted for their actions that night on three felony counts of reckless handling of a firearm resulting in serious bodily injury, unlawful wounding and unlawful shooting at an occupied domicile.

In March, they pleaded no contest to the charges and were “sentenced” for their crimes to 100 hours of community service — a travesty of justice indeed.

“This is an exceptionally difficult day, as you can imagine,” John E. Lichtenstein, Sigler’s attorney, said after the hearing. “It is difficult to understand these actions. But I think what we want you to know is the Siglers respect the process. They respect this process with what happened today. And he’s doing all they can to try to get better and to try to deal with it.”

As WSET reports, officers said they approached the home and announced that they were there to investigate suspicious activity. One of the officers attorney’s, Chuck Felmlee, said the officers then heard yelling and heavy foot steps as though someone was running toward them. They say it was Sigler who then slammed the door which made a loud clanging sound they believed to be a gun shot at the time. The officers fired four shots. One bullet hit Sigler and shattered his leg.

1. If police are afraid of loud noises and fear for their lives

when they hear one I'd say we are entering BIZZAROWORLD.

Living in Florida, a stand your ground state, if the officers fired through my door would I be justified in returning fire because I was in fear for my life??

4. Probably in any state it would count as self-defense.

But you'd still be dead.

5. Agree, just making the point that sanity has left the building.

2. They need to find another line of work

3. Disarm the cops, like England.

We would have much better police. Of course a few specially trained police could be called in.

If a cop shoots an unarmed citizen and says he thought he saw a gun, that is a mistake, a fatal mistake that should at least be grounds to be removed from the force.
