  • I don’t even believe this was a real event. There is no body in the Riverside morgue from 1/12/2017. None of the news outfits have updated their story.

    Was this some FEMA/DHS training “police activity” exercise?

    • I listened to this event live via CHP, RSO, Hemet PD, and other local agencies radios. I was also seeing live video footage from the scene, sent to me by my on-scene reporters, while it was still unfolding. If this was anything other than what it purported to be, it would have taken a heck of a concerted effort by multiple agencies.

      There is a reason the suspect’s name has not been released, as the investigation into the man’s overall activities are still being looked into by multiple government agencies. There is definitely more to the story than what has been publicly released; however, there is a reason for that.

    • It was real I watched it from my window. The body was on a gurney and died before they got him up the hill. The whole incident was like 45 minutes long. The cops were hiding behind trees cars anything they could find. about 20+ SWAT busted the door in at the house he assaulted and killed him in a rapid fire sequence.

      Don’t believe the news or official reports they are softening the events up.
