#BREAKING: Officer in #Ballwin, Mo., shot, St. Louis County police say; condition not yet known

I wouldn't be suprised if there were more incidents like this tonight
 
Ballwin is a nice area too, not in the rough places and away from downtown. I'm not going into STL tonight or tomorrow, and I'm getting my ass in the house before dark, that's for damn sure.
 
I hope this is just a coincidence.

This. It was mentioned in the Dallas thread, and as I posted there, these incidents could very well be completely unconnected.
 
Help a Brit out: what State did this happen in?
 
What's with all the shootings recently? Was it always there, but covered up / given little coverage, or are all the crays trying to "1 up" each other now?
 
I can't imagine being a cop today. I'd be eyeballing any accrued vacation time. What a fucking mess.
 
Yeah, this is literally right in front of my house. I'm at work, but I just saw a pic of the scene and see my mailbox. Crazy. There's an active speed trap just over the crest of a hill on the road where it took place. People are constantly getting pulled over in front of my house since it's a 30mph zone and there's two schools on this street.

Ballwin is a very nice area comparatively to St. Louis as a whole. Crazy that a cop got shot in front of my house today.

Crazy this shit spilled into Ballwin, stay safe dude.
 
Thanks fellas. It definitely blows my mind that this stuff has bled over into Ballwin. It's not something you think can happen (although anything is possible). I've accidently left my doors unlocked or garage door open for multiple days without really any worry. Sidewalks are filled with people exercising on a daily basis and kids playing. You just don't ever expect to hear of a LEO getting gunned down walking back to his cruiser on a routine traffic stop.
 
I'll just stay camped out here in rural whiteville if you don't mind.

That's why NO traffic stop is ever "routine."
