Hattiesburg residents Tamika Mills and Pearnell Roberts discovered the two officers who had been shot. The pair got out to check on the officers and called 9-1-1.

"Never in my life have I experienced or seen anything like this expect on TV and to be in the midst of it, it's shocking and heartbreaking," Mills said. "As we were coming down Fourth Street, we noticed a bunch of lights. As we came on through, (Roberts) told me to turn around because she saw somebody laying on the ground.

"So I backed up. That's when we noticed the officer was down. We just saw that one, but in the course of me being on the phone with 9-1-1, I turned and I saw another officer across the street rolling on the ground. (Roberts) ran across the street to check on him. He wasn't all the way alert but he asked her, 'Am I dying? I know I'm dying. Just hand me my walkie-talkie.'"

bless these civilians for stopping and trying to save these two officers......

:rose: :rose: RIP With Honor

I go from heartbreaking to anger, and back to pure heartbreak. Thank you to these people that stopped, thank you.

I'm gonna head to bed. This is really ####ing me off now. The comments on some news articles are bizarre and backwards. CNN's in particular. Won't even mention their near non-reporting. Time to step away for a bit.

THIS ^^^ is heartbreaking. It was a freakin traffic stop. And people wonder why cops have their hands on their guns during 'simple' stops? This is devastating. :rose: :rose:
