  1.  @pearl_kill_Gaming  Neither Emily nor Hunter were poorly trained. Emily called for backup and stayed behind her door and A-pillar. This guy (I know all three people--I live in this town) was a fanatic about guns and he honed and honed his marksmanship. When our kids were shooting on the trap team, Perry would be there, coaching. Coaching and drinking heavily. In his spare time, he frequented shooting ranges. Once, he had to call 911 for the police to let him out of the Armand shooting range--he'd stayed till the gate automatically locked him in in the evening. My son knew Hunter, but I knew Emily, and she was a top cop. Very wise. She was a good cop and a real community asset. Hunter once pulled me over on the very road on which he was killed. I guess I had a taillight out and a cracked windshield, and he let me off with a friendly admonition to get it fixed. Nuts to all you armchair sages who know everything there is to know about police work. Operating the pew-pews is the least of it, although the murderer, in this case, ate, slept, and breathed guns.

  2.  @6gendj584  I knew him, tangentially. He was gone-zo long before his wife had had enough. He had a real problem, and it was probably organic rather than a character defect. His father had been a police officer decades ago, and he was sort of peculiar, too. Nice man. Good to work with (which I did, last century), but also peculiar.

  3.  @muzzer5327  It's just sad, all around. The murderer trained himself like a fiend to take some cops with him. By the time Hunter got there, the murderer had walked up to the fallen Emily and fired more shots with his AR. Into her head, I think. It was an ugly scene Hunter happened upon, and his gun seems to have jammed, too. He did the best that he could. I also wish that they had called more units before stopping him. That highway is now designated in honor of Emily and Hunter, and a small memorial display materialized where Hunter fell. They were my son's friends. So was the daughter of the perp. Sad, all around.

  4. Emily was 32 and had just become engaged. She was a lovely person and an asset to our little town. My son was in college with Hunter and really liked him.

  5.  @theindooroutdoorsman  Hunter Scheel was, indeed, a veteran. Emily had been a police officer for at least 5 years. Glenn Perry was on her and everybody's radar as a loose cannon (long before his divorce), and she probably did not relish having to deal with him. Just a week before she died, while renting a venue for her wedding, she told my neighbor that she had never been on a bad call, and, knocking the dashboard of her squad car, she added that she knew that a bad situation could strike out of the blue sky.

  6. ​@rib12nyc38 It was obvious that the laughter was out of shock and disbelief. They didn't think it was funny and they had to deal with the crime scene and evidence, not call in somebody else. Humor in these situations is a way to cope with horror. I have been there. Have you never been at the scene of violent death?

  7. "We, as children, were afterthoughts." Ouch. I remember what it was like to take a back seat to alcohol.

  8.  @Basedetail  There is a bar at the shooting range, which I find odd, but most people apparently do not. Most people there just buy themselves a Coke and a hot dog. Personally, I was unaware that Perry was bending elbows like that.

  9. Was the wife comforting him?

  10.  @youngsavagefury7138  He died in the hospital. He bled out through a leg wound that Hunter or Emily gave him. He was never very mentally stable. My son went to school (and shot traps) with his daughter.

  11.  @ahsanlodhi4773  I know his back story. He was a psycho first, angry divorced man second. It's tragic, all around.

  12.  @nate9948  He was just crazy. He sometimes got treatment, but it did not help, much.

  13.  @sad_wrangler8515  Chicago is okay, as long as you avoid those parts of it occupied by generations brought up poorly by single mothers.

  16. I knew this particular criminal, and he was a drunken, crazy shitshow from A to Z. Stop projecting your own problems onto him.
