Wonder if he was recovering from some psych issues, killed the two supposedly suspicious pedestrians without good reason, then offed himself after realizing what he did.

"Officer German was a good cop," the chief said, adding the officer had been with the department five years and recently returned to duty after recovering from an unspecified injury.

Wha ? ? ?

it was likely they had killed themselves
Two people commit suicide under these circumstances? Weird story. I'm guessing forensics will sort it out.

Officer shot, killed after calling for backup in central Florida | Fox News

""He just said he was doing a subject stop and then all the tragic events unfolded," Watrel said."

What is this animal - 'subject stop'? Is this a probable cause issue? No suspected underlying crime, not investigating any reported event, just pull people aside and detain for questioning?

The cop and maybe everyone would still be alive if he just minded his own business. Sure, it is a good idea for the cop to be vigilant and observant, but where is the statutory basis to interrogate with out some specific underlying issue?

Windermere mourns slain police Officer Robert German - Orlando Sentinel

Quote:
German, like other Windermere officers, was equipped with a body camera. Sheriff's investigators said they would analyze any images retrieved from the device.
Can't wait for the footage.

And why not release this data point?

Quote:
Investigators said he encountered a man and a woman walking, but they have not divulged why German asked for backup.
Unless it needs to be polished up a bit?

"Authorities are operating under the assumption both Goode and Hollinghurst committed suicide, but her family believes the girl was murdered."

Does the picture of a pretty girl make it more outrageous? Why should her looks make any difference?

It makes it more curious perhaps. One expects that someone who would shoot an officer would, statistically, be a little more in the hardened criminal ranks.

I wonder what was so suspicious about this couple that he had to stop them for interrogations and call in back-up from multiple jurisdictions. You would think he would have expressed something to dispatch. I wonder if we will ever hear that tape.

There is about as much mis information in the news about this as flight 370. All this talk about gates community seems hogwash, look they were walking on a public sidewalk and maybe crossing a street, nary a gate in sight.

Notice this revolver "found with the bodies".



And this officer shooting scene? and all those markers for maybe shell casings? How much shooting went on?

Looks to me like the officer (or responding backup?) unloaded his clip or so?



No one heard all that shooting??? Right out side the houses at 4am???

Maybe the cop was completely out of line and maybe there was a burglary or assault or breaking and entering that was witnessed nearby and the couple fit the description. It wouldn't be unknown that a young man that age would have weird ambition and do wildly aggressive shyte.

Who knows, I hope the truth comes out and I suspect it will, more or less.
