Sad news
Wife just told me about it. Since she works in Mooresville a lot of her friends are talking about it.

While never a Certified Officer, I rode armed with SCHP and Georgetown County Narcotics 100s of hours. Two things I learned..there are No Routine traffic stops and I would not participate today for love or money.
I will NOT be showing her this haha. Damn autocorrect.
My wife thinks the perp was on his way to something bigger....

Thanks, I only saw the video on cable at Sheetz, no audio.
R.I.P. Officer Shelton.
I85 N shutdown for procession to funeral home in Concord and saw this on WT Harris.
OP
Sheldon was a good guy and will be missed by many people most who barely knew him. I had met him 7-8 times, he was always smiling never heard him have a negative thing to say.
I heard the same from a friend of a friend who worked with him. It’s a shame all the way around.

Or coming from something big he had just committed. Could be he thought he was busted for whatever that was.
Rumor is it was something much, much smaller. Traffic related.

Traffic stop. But maybe the driver had just done something worse and thought that was the reason he was stopped.
Or he was just bat guano crazy. At least he saved taxpayers the cost of trial and incarceration.
No, that’s what I’m saying. There was nothing bigger. Rumor is he truly killed the officer over a traffic related offense.
Terrible news for the officer's family, friends, and coworkers.
They do a difficult job, one that I would not volunteer for, putting their lives on the line for not much more poverty level pay.
Respect goes out to the good ones, and it sounds like this guy was part of that group.

My brother is his sgt. and close friend. I meet him at eagle guns solid guy glad to see the community support.
I heard on the radio that this same scene was on display a little farther up 85 from Concord, Kannapolis, and one other FD who I can’t recall.
Really cool to see the level of support throughout the CLT region!
