I wonder if someone is going to say the cop should have let the guy into his house and served his coffee.




Off-duty police officer fatally shoots home intruder who had argued with him about Black Lives Matter on Facebook

St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar speaks during a news conference after a police shooting on the anniversary of the death of Michael Brown, Aug. 10, 2015.

An off-duty police officer fatally shot a man who was trying to enter his St. Louis-area home late Saturday afternoon, Missouri officials say.

According to police, 20-year-old Tyler Gebhard rang the doorbell at the officer’s Lakeshire, Mo., home shortly before 6 p.m. When the officer’s wife answered the door and refused entry, police said, Gebhard, a former high school football star, threw a 50-pound concrete planter through a rear window and attempted to enter.

St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said Gebhard was shot twice in the chest by the officer, whose name was not released. Gebhard, who was known to the officer’s family, was rushed to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Belmar said the officer’s wife, mother-in-law, a toddler and an infant were in the home at the time of the incident and that the family members heard the officer tell the intruder to “get down” before shots were fired.

Gebhard’s uncle, Patrick Brogan, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that his nephew had become acquainted with the officer “through a church connection” and that the two “had been arguing on Facebook about Black Lives Matter.”

Brogan added that Gebhard, who was biracial, suffered from bipolar disorder.

“Tyler was going over to fight,” Brogan said. “When he got there he was met with a gun and the guy killed him.”

Belmar said the officer’s actions were justified.

“I don’t think the officer had a choice,” Belmar said. “I honestly don’t.”

The incident comes amid broiling racial tensions following a pair of fatal police shootings of black men in Baton Rouge, La., and Falcon Heights, Minn., and the killings of five Dallas police officers during a Black Lives Matter protest over them.

His Facebook page is still active. I didn't see any arguments about black lives matter, but I didn't look too far back either.

Forced entry like that into someones home, and the perp gets killed. Not even newsworthy.
