[HairOfTheDog]

The man who killed Officer Terrance Carraway and shot six other officers has been identified.

He's a 74-year-old Vietnam veteran, gun-enthusiast, and disbarred attorney.  His wife is a prominent attorney in Florence.



Fred Hopkins ^ opened fire on officers who were trying to serve a warrant on a 27-year-old at the residence who was accused of sexually abusing a foster child.

UPDATE:

Sadly, a second South Carolina officer shot by Hopkins died this week, after undergoing eight surgeries.  


Officer Farrah Turner died on Monday, three weeks after she and six other officers were shot in Florence, S.C., while they were trying to serve a warrant. “Farrah was the ultimate professional, excelling at everything she did,” the Florence County sheriff said.

Rest in peace.
