A man opened fire on officers during a domestic disturbance call Saturday morning, killing three of them, a police official said. Friends said he had been upset recently about losing his job and that he feared the Obama administration was poised to ban guns.

Three officers were killed, said a police official at the scene who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Police spokeswoman Diane Richard would only say that at least five officers were wounded, but wouldn't give any other details.

Police planned to release more details at a mid-afternoon news conference Saturday.

The man who fired at the officers was arrested after a several-hour standoff. One witness reported hearing hundreds of shots.

The shootings occurred just two weeks after four police officers were fatally shot March 21 in Oakland, Calif., in the deadliest day for U.S. law enforcement since Sept. 11, 2001.

Police did not immediately release the gunman's identity, but his friends identified him as Richard Poplawski, 23. They described him as a young man who thought the Obama administration would ban guns.

One friend, Edward Perkovic, said Poplawski feared "the Obama gun ban that's on the way" and "didn't like our rights being infringed upon." Another longtime friend, Aaron Vire, said Poplawski feared that President Obama was going to take away his rights, though he said he "wasn't violently against Obama."

Perkovic, a 22-year-old who said he was Poplawski's best friend, said he got a call at work from him in which he said, "Eddie, I am going to die today. ... Tell your family I love them and I love you."

Perkovic said: "I heard gunshots and he hung up. ... He sounded like he was in pain, like he got shot."

Vire, 23, said Poplawski once had an Internet talk show but that it wasn't successful. Vire said Poplawski had an AK-47 rifle and several powerful handguns, including a .357 Magnum.

Another friend, Joe DiMarco, said Poplawski had been laid off from his job at a glass factory earlier this year. DiMarco said he didn't know the name of the company, but knew his friend had been upset about losing his job.

The officers were called to the home in the Stanton Heights neighborhood at about 7 a.m., Richard said.

Tom Moffitt, 51, a city firefighter who lives two blocks away, said he heard about the shooting on his scanner and came to the scene, where he heard "hundreds, just hundreds of shots. And not just once — several times."

Rob Gift, 45, who lives a block away, said he heard rapid gunfire as he was letting his dog out.

He said the neighborhood of well-kept single-family houses and manicured lawns is home to many police officers, firefighters, paramedics and other city workers.

"It's just a very quiet neighborhood," Gift said.

According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, 133 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty in 2008, a 27 percent decrease from year before and the lowest annual total since 1960.

Yes, they do this so knowing that the lemmings are a gullible bunch. Lemming sees such actions on television. Feels like they are justified in taking same action. Said action is repeated in millions of households each day, which may influence those lemmings to imitate those actions. Lemmings get out of control. Government and the law step in, BOOM, martial law!

I watched a bit of Fux News and they were mentioning how this guy was some conspiracy nut who believe that a "cabal ruled the world". etc etc. So there we go folks get ready for where thats gonna go.

On a lighter note, was anyone else amused by all the footage and pictures of those swat teams and police standing around in their ninja uniforms doing nothing but looking scarry and badass for the cameras? Aren't these guys supposed to be tough guys that run in there and take the bad guys out. They sure seem to like to spend a bunch of time sneaking around trees or marching or just generally posing for the cameras. Just something I've noticed about a lot of these news stories with shooters.

On another note, it seems like many of the big anti gun stories lately involve non-White perps.

I am wondering if any of our non-White posters have noticed a surge in anti-establishment propaganda pushed their way? Have the latest (c)rap songs, vibe/ebony magazines, or other sources been more prone to violence or stirring of the pot than normal?

I thought I would ask because those of you non-Whites who do post here are more likely to see the change than others.
