…said he wished he served with the Taliban. He did not have insurance or a license and was furious about not receiving taxpayer-funded benefits. Wali managed to shoot two officers on the driver's side before being shot by a third officer. Wali died from his injuries.
At 2:36 p.m., an officer was conducting traffic enforcement in the 4000 block of Majestic Lane near Greenbriar. The officer stopped a 1999 Toyota Corolla driven by Jamal Wali, 36, of Fairfax, for an expired safety inspection. Wali was argumentative and refused to obey commands. Backup was called and once on scene, Wali reached for a firearm and shot two officers. A third officer discharged his weapon, striking Wali four times. Responding officers quickly began performing life saving measures on the two officers and suspect. The two officers were transported in non-life-threatening condition to local hospitals. Wali was pronounced deceased at the hospital. The officer involved in the shooting, Officer Ian Lachapelle has been identified is a 2-year veteran assigned to the Fair Oaks Patrol District. In Chief Davis’ press conference (7:44), the Chief said that Wali has been in our country lawfully since 2014. That in fact, he did work with American military forces overseas prior to 2014. Chief said that he believes that's what gave him the pathway to be lawfully present in the United States. He's with his family now, his four children and his wife chief said. Chief also said that the references that you'll hear him make to the Taliban are historical references. The FBI has shared with them that there are no open, ongoing, current investigations, or any insight that they have into Mr. Walli whatsoever.

| #1 "Liberated Afghanistan" was, from a Western perspective a hostile and evil entity. Maybe there was a realpolitical rationale for collaborating with this entity but flooding Western nations with masses of settlers whose allegiance was with the "Islamic Republic of Afghanistan" is and always has been madness. |
