FBI Guns Down Marine Vet In His Bedroom
… because of child porn?
Man, this is ugly. No sympathy for someone pushing child porn, but what the hell is this:
“I can’t understand how something like this happened if they were just there to search my house,” she said. “No one can tell me what happened in the bedroom for my husband to feel threatened.
“Did anyone say where they were from? Did anyone tell him why they were there? No one can tell me.”
She had answered the door shortly before 7 p.m. Monday. On the step was a uniformed Hilltown Township officer; behind him, two men in plainclothes.
Her young daughters, 5-year-old Shelby and 3-year-old Reagan, ran excitedly in their pajamas to the door. “They thought it was the pizza man,” Hill said.
The officer “told me that they were there to serve a federal search warrant,” she recalled.
He asked how many people were in the house; she told him the three of them and her husband, who had been watching TV news in the living room.
She then heard footsteps on the stairway, “and the officer walked right past me. . . . All of a sudden, there were people coming through my door real fast.”
The Hilltown officer reappeared, clearly anxious. ” ‘Ma’am, you need to grab your kids and get out of here,’ ” she recalled him saying.
He led them to a police cruiser parked on Callowhill Street. Rebecca Hill was in bare feet. She said the children, in socks, cried as the gravel driveway hurt their feet. Hill said she heard the officer, whose name she did not know, say “barricade” into his clip-on shoulder mike.
She demanded to know what was happening.
” ‘Ma’am, I don’t know what’s going on,’ ” she said the officer replied. ” ‘We have a situation.’ ” He drove them to the police station.
And this …
About 20 minutes into the interview, she said, she demanded to know where her husband was. “That’s when he said, ‘Ma’am, we regret to inform you that your husband was fatally shot in a confrontation.’ “
“Sorry, we dragged you and the kids out of your house without an explanation and then shot the bastard.”
Nice.
