Glad the criminal investigation is continuing. I have to wonder if someone put him up to it.And I cannot speculate why he did what he did.
This seems part of a pattern:
Alabama Police chief blasts cop for faking shooting so he could play hero
TX: Wounded Deputy Shot With His Own Firearm
The Texas incident appears to have been an honest accident... and I am happy that these incidents have been handled... but "hoaxes" and fake shootings are no conspiracy theory. They are real.
