Road and the commissioner richard ross not each a week into the job says this was an ambush. I dont know whats on this individuals mind. We do know he was dressed in several layers of clothing and what that was for i dont know. I dont know its that cold or what he planned to do but clearly it was unprovoked, nothing the officer was just driving up the street. Reporter the commissioner went on to say in his opinion it really doesnt matter why this guy shot the officer, he tried to take a life.
