UK Daily Mail . . . "Officer Christopher Ryan Morton, 30, died. Officer Nathan Bettencourt was in stable condition Wednesday. The third officer, Nicholas Kasper, was treated for gunshot wounds and released Wednesday.
"After the officers were shot, a SWAT team entered the house and found Waters dead. Investigators have not determined if he shot himself or was killed by the officers, Lowe said.
"Scanner audio captured the shootout. According to The Kansas City Star, Morton can be heard saying: 'I'm hit multiple times. One left arm. Both legs. The chest, the vest.'
"Another officer can hear saying: 'Morton, stay with us. Stay with us Morton.' " . . .
. . . 'It is a coincidence they were called to that specific address,' Lowe said. 'It is tragic that happened. But the fact is they were in the act of committing crimes within that house. When (the officers) entered that house they were doing what they needed to ensure no one was hurt and there wasn't any other problems.' "
Just one more "pig in a blanket".
