OFFICER GUNNED DOWN ATTEMPTING TO SERVE BENCH WARRANT

|| By FITSNEWS || A West Columbia, S.C. police officer was shot in the head on Tuesday afternoon attempting to serve a bench warrant.

The officer – whose identity has yet to be released – was attempting to serve the warrant at the Hudson Street home of 51-year-old William Kernnon at around 2:00 p.m. EDT when he was shot in the head.  A suspect, believed to be Kernnon, surrendered to authorities shortly thereafter.

The bullet apparently pierced a wall before striking the officer in the head – an event we’re told was captured on video by a neighbor.

“Crazy dude (boarded) himself in the house then they stormed it and a cop jumped out bleedin’ bad,” one witness wrote on social media.

Agents of the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) were on the scene – standard protocol in the event a law enforcement officer is shot in the line of duty.  In fact SLED is handling the investigation into the shooting – although an agency spokesman wasn’t immediately available to comment on the situation.

The officer is reportedly in stable condition at Palmetto Richland Hospital in downtown Columbia, S.C.  In fact our law enforcement sources say he was “conscious and breathing” in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.

That’s a good sign …

Kernnon is white.  The ethnicity of his victim has yet to be established.  Why does that matter?  Eh … we’re not sure that it does, but we live in post-Ferguson, America.  Which means everything is presumed to be racial until it’s demonstrably, um, “not.”

Kernnon is described by West Columbia police as a “regular customer” – meaning they’ve had frequent interactions with him.  Police say the warrants being served on Kernnon this week were for failing to appear in court on “minor charges.”

Looks like he’s got some major charges to contend with now …

The guy must have feared for his life. If this is a good enough reason for cop to shoot someone I see no reason why this shooting wasn’t legit.

Go back and look at the title of the article. Feel free to peruse the actual body of the article, as well.

Stupid laws. If they would just legalize “everything.” Then the police officer would have never had to serve a bench warrant.

You know, because everyone is so responsible if we just drop all of the rules and laws.

If all the officer was doing was protecting Dumb@$$#$ like you…you are correct…You don’t deserve his service…or civility…

I’d like to take every ignorant liberal son-of-a-B!*ch like you…and send you to Iran, w/ Obama…and let you run your mouth over there…That would be HILARIOUS….to see…

I refuse to watch those videos they put out…but I’d be inclined to make an exception…

So you KNOW the shooter had the gun LEGALLY???…If not, STFU…

Maj. Nadal Hassan (who looks like Obama’s brother if he had one) was LEGAL…and he killed more than a dozen…Dumb@$$….Now he sits in a country club prison – instead of a firing squad – because Obama is “cool” w/ him shooting US soldiers while on Jihad…

Wonder how long it would take for society to really recognize and appreciate our men and women serving at home if they all called out sick this weekend? It’s bad enough to serve in a strange land but at least there you don’t know anyone but your brothers and sisters in arms. Here the war to keep us civilized is fought against family, friends and neighbors. Then those who are in charge along with citizens who benefit from their sacrifice critize and refuse to join to make our communities better. Shame on all of us for not reaching out to support them and give them a helping hand.

I’ve tried to help you out on this before, but you are getting what you ask for. You want to throw hate, you will get it in return. It’s really not that hard to understand. You don’t get taken seriously, not because of what you believe, but because you are pathetic human being in the way you conduct yourself on here. You’re not effective at anything except making a mockery of yourself. You do nothing but engage in juvenile power struggles with other posters.

Rocky April 1, 2015 at 1:01 pm

Yeah, because painting a white, armed shooter in SC as clearly a Democrat is not hateful. His affiliation is not relevant to this conversation, but as always, you find a way to bring it up. You’re an utter fool. You’re actually rather repulsive in that way. But please, carry one.
