A 27-year-old Arkansas police officer who was “ambushed and executed” as he sat in his patrol car outside his headquarters earlier this month was shot 10 times in the head by a gunman who was interested in anti-law enforcement groups, investigators said.
The new details in connection to the “heinous” killing of Fayetteville Police Officer Stephen Carr were disclosed Friday as investigators released new surveillance footage that captured the gunman, identified as 35-year-old London Phillips, approaching the squad car and opening fire.
Two police officers later shot and killed Phillips.
“We have hesitated to release the attached video of what transpired that night due to the heinous and shocking nature of this crime, but in an effort to keep the public informed of exactly what happened that night, we are releasing video of the incident along with the results of the Arkansas State Medical Examiner’s preliminary findings,” the Washington County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a statement.
The sheriff’s office said’s been investigating the “ambush and execution” alongside the FBI, at the request of Fayetteville Police Chief Mike Reynolds.
One of the five videos showed Phillips approaching Carr’s patrol vehicle from behind. It later showed him firing shots at the vehicle as he walked away and reloaded his gun. Sheriff’s investigators said Phillips fired 16 rounds and had reloaded the weapon with another full magazine containing 17 rounds.
Police said Phillips shot Carr at point-blank range using a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun he bought legally in 2017. A search of Phillips’ social-media accounts showed he had an interest in anti-law enforcement groups, the sheriff’s office said without elaborating.
An autopsy determined that any of the 10 shots that hit Carr in the head would have killed him, the sheriff’s office said. The other officers shot Phillips a total of six times.
Phillips had been carrying a full box of ammunition containing 50 rounds and a second box with 32 rounds, the sheriff’s office said.
Hundreds attended Carr’s funeral this past Thursday. Pictures posted by the sheriff’s office on Facebook showed law-enforcement officers and civilians lining the streets and saluting the casket as it passed in a motorcade.
“As the police chief, I make this vow: Stephen Carr’s badge number 413 will not be forgotten,” Reynold’s said during the funeral, according to KFSM-TV. “May God bless the family. God bless each and every one of you. And God bless the Fayetteville Police Department.”
The Fayetteville Police Department had hired Carr in April 2017; he was a patrol officer in the Dickson Street entertainment district. Police called him a “hero,” and said he served with dedication and professionalism for over two years.

Well, as the saying goes, “As you sow, so shall you also reap.”
‘he had an interest in anti-law enforcement groups, the sheriff’s office said without elaborating.’
anti-law = anti-Bill of Rights…but I don’t think that is what they are referring to here
The irony of it all is that the gestapo thugs use incidents like this to justify killing innocent, unarmed civilians, puppy dogs and anything else with a pulse, yet they cannot understand that it is quite the opposite. Their constant murder, mammon collection, theft, raping, and other heinous crimes are simply coming back upon their own heads. I have no sympathy for them what so ever. Indeed, you reap what you sow.
Good. Ten shots to the head should stifle his abuse of people’s rights for a while.
No pity for the piggies. When you spend 8 hours per day tyrannizing a population, there are going to be some repercussions.
That’s one less pig bastard who’ll be bothering me. Thanks, shooter.
While gives s shit? I find more interest in an ingrown toenail.

Im sure if we had the time and tools to dig into the real truth about this pig , we would find that this was probably justifiable homicide …
