I heard that the PFA expired about a year ago, but they can be renewed (or at least, when I had to get one, they could be).

I think the mom may end up being charged with something eventually. She seems off her rocker and I think that she knew what was going on.
I heard that there are charges out for her, but I'm not sure what they are. She definitely seems to be a nutjob.

I really feel for the dispatcher in this circumstance. However guilty she (I think it was a her) must feel. But I don't know that I fault her. There's a difference between someone owning a gun and someone USING the gun or other weapon during a dispute that is being called in.
Exactly. We have guns, most of my family has guns, and not one of us has ever thought of shooting a policemen. The mother should have stressed that her son was armed, not just that he had legal guns.

This is only the second time in the US that a policeman has been killed by an AK-47 (for those keeping track).

Who I feel the worst about is the one named Kelly. He was just coming off duty and thought he'd lend a hand. May God bless them all. They're showing the caskets being transferred to the City County Building on tv right now.
