8. Offduty Police Officer shoots and kills a disabled man shopping with his mother and father at Costco

Son dead, Mother in Coma, Father in ICU...

Offduty officer and his family - just fine.

Seriously?

Guess the Police Officer had to try to get rid of the witnesses. Too bad he didn't succeed.

I pray that the Mother recovers and the Father and his wife are able to tell what happened.

Of course, it won't matter if it was unprovoked and he shot them in cold blood. Nothing will happen.
