Seminole Tragedy

A librarian friend informed me this morning of a horrific occurrence, the shooting death of two Officers in a town around 30 miles away from Norman. This article in the norman transcript gives a brief summary of the circumstances and events happening Sunday.

While serving a warrant Sunday, two Sheriffs deputies were shot and killed, and a bystander was wounded as she was passing across the street. The shooter, Ezekial Holbert, is currently in custody charged with first-degree murder.

A horrific crime committed because of a domestic abuse warrant. The crime committed Sunday was not worth the lives of two Sheriffs deputies. The fact that a domestic abuse warrant lead to their deaths truly is a tragedy. The domestic abuse charge would most likely be minor, compared to a conviction of first-degree murder.

That is the real tragedy here is that the domestic abuse charge would not have been anything life-ending. But just like the small sum the killers collected from the death of the Clutter family, this story really is unfortunate.

Yeah I know, I'm going to edit and polish!
