A secret. A search warrant. A veteran. A trap: How 7 SC officers fell in Florence

A secret and a search warrant drew Florence officers to a combat veteran and a deadly trap that they couldn’t escape. Seven officers were shot, two fatally, on Oct. 3, 2018, in the most horrific violence to ever befall their small town......

.....this is the headline and lead paragraph for a great article in the Post and Courier published recently about the officer involved shooting in Florence, SC last fall that left two officers dead and five others wounded.  Written by Jennifer Hawes and Angie Jackson the article gives you a vivid recreation of that horrific day.  Jennifer took a few minutes to join me on The Morning Answer to talk about the story from the perspective of a writer.  Take a minute to listen.
