This was close enough to my house that I heard the gun shots, although they sounded like fire crackers. I was brushing out my three year old long hair GSD Sauer when I heard the shots, not feeling right about the sound I went inside with Sauer just in time to hear "Shots fired" over the scanner. I was armed with a handgun when this started, I had a rifle in hand before I had house and dogs fortified. A coworker had family at the church when this event occurred.
What I have not seen in any reporting that will be of interest to members here:
Three law enforcement agencies share a repeater network and dispatch here in Gaines County. First is the Gaines County Sheriff's Office, then there is Seagraves PD in the northern part of the county, and finally Seminole PD (the agency initially involved in this incident). Initial confusion came about because deputies thought the Seagraves PD chief was the officer involved in the shooting. He radioed back that it wasn't him and everyone quickly determined the officer involved was a specific Seminole PD officer. The Seagraves Chief was actually in Seminole at the time this occurred and was integrated into the search and capture. The suspect dropped his weapon which was recovered near the scene, the weapon he used was an HK USP 9mm. Rumors are going around that a wireless internet company used a camera mounted on their tower to track the suspect then report his location and direction of travel to dispatch, this is consistent with what I heard over the scanner.
