Man shoots 7 police officers called to 'suicide in progress' in San Antonio

The unidentified suspect shot an officer who first arrived at the scene then proceeded to shoot six more officers more, the San Antonio Police Department said.

Apologies for making light of this but that is almost comically absurd. "I'm going in". Gets shot. Times 7. On a more positive note, these are the type cops we need showing up at school shootings, not a small army of "Hm. Let me think about it for a bit."
 
This shooting happened about seven weeks ago (so, not "today's shooting"), and the one person involved did not live to tell about it. Or go to trial. He was a former police detective in a state of disgrace, facing some serious charges for being a sack of turds, and decided he did not want to go to court.

Why now? Because the gun he used was stolen. An ex-cop had to freaking steal a gun.
 
Racism is so terribly fucked up, now.

According to arrest documents, at 9.30pm on Saturday surveillance video appeared to show Mordechai Brafman, 27 … opening fire with a semiautomatic handgun at a vehicle as it passed. Brafman allegedly fired 17 times, striking one victim in the left shoulder and grazing the other’s left forearm.

While in custody, Brafman spontaneously told detectives that while he was driving his truck, “he saw two Palestinians and shot and killed both” … Miami Herald reported that they were actually two vacationing Israelis, naming them as Ari Rabey and his father.​

The shooter (also known as "FloridaMan") was himself Jewish. Naturally, it gets even better,

… one of the injured men reportedly posted “death to the Arabs” in a message on social media after the shooting. “My father and I went through a murder attempt against antisemitic background”​

One bad turn deserves another.
