How does any other criminal get an illegal gun in this country. We are busting at the seams with them.

I for one hope he finds the peace in death that surely his mental health did not permit in life.

Pointing a gun at cops and not firing sure sounds like suicide by cop. Clearly some serious mental health issues there.

Yet another consequence of this country's obsession with guns and not caring for young people's mental health.

I like to think that he is in heaven now, eating pizza with all the little kids he freed from the Comet basement.

I was right in front of Comment when he shot it up because I lived on Conn Ave back then. I'm surprised he didn't die sooner honestly. He was very troubled obviously.

Yes, whether planned or just spur of the moment.

No, just reflexive stupidity.

Here is an excerpt:

Around 10 p.m. Saturday, Welch was sitting in the passenger seat of a gray 2001 GMC Yukon when an officer pulled it over near Cannon Boulevard, a Kannapolis Police Department press release said Thursday.

The officer recognized the vehicle, having arrested Welch in the past, and knew he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest for a felony probation violation, police said. The press release said the officer spoke with the vehicle’s driver and recognized Welch in the passenger seat as two more officers arrived.

The officer that pulled the vehicle over then moved to the front passenger seat where Welch was sitting to arrest him. But when he opened the door, Welch pulled out a handgun from his jacket and pointed it at the officer, police said.

The arresting officer and a second officer at the scene shot Welch after he refused orders to drop his gun. The press release identified the two officers who fired as Caleb Tate and Brooks Jones.
