Florida deputy gets shot and beaten with butt of AR-15-style rifle by passenger who burst out of car during traffic stop
2021-09-11
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Dashcam footage shows the moment Brevard County deputies Brian Potters and Tyler Thoman were ambushed by a gunman, prompting a shootout

  • Shooter Paris Wilder, 38, was left dead and Potters was severely injured

  • The officers were doing a routine traffic stop when Wilder jumped out of the car 'with a small stock AR-15-styled rifle' and started shooting

  • He then used the butt of the gun to beat Potters, prompting Thoman to use fatal force to 'eliminate the threat'

  • Wilder was a career criminal with 40 previous arrests and the Sheriff's Office said he was out on bond avoiding another arrest when the shooting took place

  • The investigation is ongoing and both deputies have been placed on paid administrative leave, which is customary in all deputy-involved shootings

#2  Because, like everything else about the AR-15 (so the media tells us) its buttstock is just deadlier, somehow...
