Agreed, this is becoming all too common of an occurrence. If you're one of the boys (or girls!) in blue, thank you for what you do, keep your head down, and stay safe. RIP Jack Maguire, Woburn, MA PD.

I am a bit worried now, beyond just the scope of this tragedy. I have a female friend who is a homicide detective in Miami, and am afraid to hear the names released.

Prayers to everyone affected.

My thoughts and prayers for the families!

I sincerely hope your friend is well. My guess is that if the police were serving a warrant, the deceased were likely part of the criminal apprehension team.

[T.G]

Sorry to hear.

It doesn't even sound right to say "I hope so", it is such a tragedy regardless, Jesse. I do know that she and her partner have served homicide warrants on suspects they thought were not a major threat to police in the past, but I am praying for everyone.

RIP.... terrible :-(

Of course Tom, it's a tragedy no matter how you slice it.

Tom,
They just released the female officer's name.
Hope it is not your friend.

Amanda Hayworth

The killer had a 5 page rap sheet.

Officer Roger Castillo is the other deceased officer.

[MiamiE]

The officers were with Miami-Dade county and not the City of Miami. Don't know which dept. Your friend works for Tom.

You had to see how sickening it was to see folks being interviewed that were saying he was a nice guy and this was not like him to do.
That literally ticked me off.
They were serving a warrant for murder.
Apparently a guy dissed his sister and he killed him.
Now kills two officers leaving four children without their parent.
Five page rap sheet.
Career criminal and now multiple murderer but yet morons go on tv to say he was a nice guy.
Man I am pissed to see that.

You always hear something similar. Local talk radio used to place bets that some neighbor or family member of whatever gangbanger just got gunned down by another gangbanger would say "He was just turning his life around".

Truth is, life has no value for these types of people. Incarceration doesn't deter them. A person with a 5 page rap sheet? Let's call them "Homeless with a Golden Voice" and give them a house and job. This is what America has become.

The good guys are now the bad guys and the bad guys get their 15 minutes of fame.

Such a senseless tragedy. Prayers sent for the families of the fallen officers.
