Police: Slain Arkansas officer 'ambushed' in patrol vehicle

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — A man who “was looking for an officer to kill” drove into a police parking lot in northwestern Arkansas, approached an officer who was sitting in a patrol car and shot him point-blank in the head, police said Sunday.

Reynolds said two officers ran outside after hearing gunshots behind the police department at about 9:42 p.m. Saturday and confronted an armed suspect, who they shot and killed. Reynolds identified the suspect as London Phillips, 35, of Fayetteville. “All I know is that this was a cowardly act. I have no information that leads me to believe that he targeted this officer specifically. He was looking for an officer to kill,” Reynolds said during a news conference Sunday.Fayetteville police had a “brief history” with Phillips, Reynolds said. Police received a call in Dec. 2018 about Phillips impersonating a police officer, he said. In April, Phillips pawned a gun at a local pawn shop.

Reynolds said there has been an outpouring of shock, disbelief and support from people in Fayetteville and the surrounding area.

Hell yeah. Happy holidays 🌲

Republican territory again.

If society loses respect for the law we will change forever and not in a good way. We must let law enforcement do their job without public micromanagement.

idiots

The government started the war it's only a matter of time before the people start fighting back

I blame the media.

💙😔

If only there was a good guy with a gun around

If only there were a good guy with a gun

should the police involved shooter be placed on paid administrative leave until all the facts are known? Maybe his union of colleagues can protest until no punitive action is taken.

owned lmao

I stan

BLM, the Media and the Left have blood on their hands.

Meanwhile cops are driving around looking for a confrontation that leads up to them killing innocent people..... I say this is hysterical given this nations lack of police accountability .... Fuk the police.. ACAB

Not that I have any faith in the chief of police accurately depicting the murderer's intent, but it's telling that folks are killing cops for being cops...especially given their history of murdering innocent people, reinforcing poverty, etc

That is horrible! The evil in the hearts of people seems especially rampant today. The only hope of this world is found in Christ.

BarackObama started the WAR on COPS but the INTERCHANGEABLE TALKING HEADS of the LEFTIST MEDIA never mention this indisputable FACT. Well, here's where Obama's 'war' has gotten us.

Thanks Obama

I wish this hadn't happened. Just another act in the tragic and dark 'us vs them' mentality which, let's be honest, was born from and exacerbated by 'brotherhood' 'think blue line' 'blue lives matter' fascism.

Oh My God... All of my Love to the Family.. 😢

We need to review all the facts before making a conclusion like this

Countless UNARMED suspects executed every year. This innocent one in Texas only 6 years old. They did a good job of keeping that out of the media. Press picks and chooses their 'TRAGEDIES'.

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Jesus Christ this is awful

Cops are in a warzone called NRA oops I mean USA

Quick, buy more guns.

Sickening. So sorry for the officer and his family. Glad they took out the trash and dealt with the perpetrator appropriately.

Trump MAGA

Killers gonna kill.

When cops get away with killing innocent people, innocent people start to realize cops aren't so good to have around. This is going to be happening much more often from now on.
