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.

Honestly, I thought he was still in jail.

I mean he was released in 2020 and there were a lot of other things going on then so I likely missed it.

Seriously? Anyone can get their hands on a gun in this country. It’s practically a requirement for citizenship, especially in a southern state.

It's amazing to me how many people are still stuck on the QAnon bs this many years later. They really are desperate for drama and will believe anything.
