Added a better quality version of the last bit.

Summary via Fairfax County Police:

"Mount Vernon Police District – B.L., 38, of Newport News has been identified as the man who assaulted an officer then forced him into his cruiser leading to two officers discharging their firearms.

At 4:06 p.m. yesterday, B.L. passed a license plate reader which alerted officers to a stolen U-Haul in the area. An officer saw the U-Haul in the 6300 block of Richmond Highway, in the Alexandria section of Fairfax County. B.L. pulled the U-Haul into the gas station parking lot, exited the vehicle then walked away. The officer can be seen on surveillance footage speaking with B.L. then the two walk towards the officer’s cruiser.

The officer told B.L. he was going to be detained for driving the stolen U-Haul. B.L. then attacked the officer. He immediately grabbed the officer’s firearm and tried to remove it from the holster. B.L. held onto the officer’s holstered firearm, assaulted the officer by striking him in the head and pulled him across the parking lot in an attempt to disarm him.

B.L. then opened the officer’s cruiser door and forced the officer into the vehicle. During the assault, the vehicle was placed into gear and rapidly accelerated backwards with the officer trapped underneath B.L. The officer radioed for emergency assistance and told dispatch the suspect had his firearm.

As the cruiser drove in reverse, two community members’ vehicles were struck. The cruiser then struck a business and came to a stop. B.L. continued his assault on the officer as two officers arrived on scene.

One officer discharged his firearm as B.L. remained on top of the officer inside the cruiser. A second officer arrived on scene and attempted to remove B.L. off the officer. He was able to pull B.L. off the officer and out of the cruiser. The officer then discharged his firearm.

B.L. was declared deceased at the scene. The victim officer was taken to a nearby hospital and was treated for his injuries. He was later released. The officer’s duty belt remained on the officer during the assault with the firearm holstered. The holstered firearm was pulled from his hip to the front of the officer’s waistband. The U-Haul was confirmed to be stolen from Richmond on May 3."

Damn, this dude was from the town I've lived in my whole life. You don't see Newport News in the news much & it's weird to see it pop up here.

Just curious, why is that? Is that even if the name was reported in the media?

First cop was kind of useless

[HIGHTECHDUDE]

I think if the deputy was shot he would have that oozing red stuff coming out of some holes. The guy with the scissors probably just wanted to fuck up the guys uniform or see him naked.

"Please, get off my gun" dumbass cop. You give Orders, not suggestions.
