This is just coming out - all I can find is at Fox News here.
I don't know, man....military base, four police officers and what seems to be an ambush?
I know Obama doesn't want me to "jump to conclusions" but after Fort Dix, after Fort Hood, why shouldn't I be concerned that the killers of these peace officers are part of islamic jihad?
Prayers go out to these officers' families.

I'm willing to bet that this is another case of SJS.
Such a sad story. I read that all 4 officers were wearing bullet-proof vests.
