very sad and somewhat surprised to hear that the 2 sheriffs have died as a result of the shoot out yesterday up in Abgindon/Aberdeen area.I read yesterday they were both wounded but my impression was they were stable.
it appears the first sheriff tried to be non-confrontational by sitting down with the guy.
it appears someone (the perpertrator's son's mother?) called police to let them know he was there and had warrants.
good internal instinct by the one mother and her daughter who decided to not sit right next to the guy bc he looked sketchy.
i normally make it a point to shake the hands, make eye contact with the dirtiest of homeless people when i give them a buck or food ... but i wont hesitate to move as far away from an erratic person.
