Man Released from Jail Shoots Police Officer

[OakRidgeStars]

This is an ongoing story that unfolded earlier this week as a man, that was mistakenly released from jail, abducts another man before shooting a Chesapeake police officer. Here's the original story from the VA Pilot.

Now it's been released that the shooter used a AK-47 style "assault weapon". The VA Pilot's usual left-leaning reporting and misinformation are in today's paper as expected.

Police say they are still trying to trace the AK-47. To get a permit for one, some people say they are buying the guns for large game hunting, Branch said.

At least they got the point across that it was semi-auto, but don't these idiots know that a permit is not required? We got all these gun laws. What we really need are laws that would hold media accountable for reporting unbiased facts.
