Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

He'd just been involved in a heated argument with his stepfather, and police had been called to the house. After talking to officers, it took him more than an hour to walk back to his conversion van, which was parked near his work.
The vehicle wasn't working at the time, but he'd been living in it for a few weeks. Unquote
Any other circumstances the LEs would have initiated EPRO proceedings...

What does that have to do with anything?

Possibly because one of the LEOs who responded to the 7-11 shooting was also one of the LEOs who responded to the Domestic Disturbance call at the shooter's home earlier that day. I don't know if it's VBPD policy to take SD shooters into custody.
VA's lack of a codified SYG law is irrelevant (many say we're better off without one). As I read the account, the robbers were between the shooter and the exit, blocking his retreat.

Cops always have a choice. I suspect that a polite request to provide a statement sans getting cuffed/stuffed/carted off to the station (arrested?) would've been agreed to. The cops "just doing their job" defense does not apply to their own I suspect. Those cops did wrong, know they did wrong and they do not care that they did wrong.
