Authorities on Monday said a second South Carolina police officer died from her injuries suffered in an ambush attack at the hands of an ex-Army sharpshooter earlier this month.
Florence County Sheriff Kenney Boone said Deputy Farrah B. Turner died Monday. She had been hospitalized since the attack.
Boone said in a statement that Turner “was the ultimate professional, excelling at everything she did. She dedicated her life to serving the victims of the worst crimes imaginable.”
Turner was among seven law enforcement officers shot by 74–year–old Frederick Hopkins. They say the decorated Vietnam War opened fire without warning when officers arrived at his home Oct. 5 to speak with his son about a sex assault investigation.
This arrest photo made available by the Richland County, S.C., Jail, shows Frederick Hopkins.
Police Sgt. Terrence Carraway also was killed.
Hopkins was charged with murder and six counts of attempted murder.
Hopkins fired three of the estimated 129 guns on Oct. 3, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott told The State newspaper. He used a pistol and two military assault rifles, Lott said.
Lott said Hopkins fired 39 shots total. Hopkins fired from an elevated platform, which allowed him a clear view for several hundred yards down the road of his subdivision.
“It’s chilling to see how this house was set up,” Lott said. “The officers had no chance whatsoever.”

This should be every house USA
Like I’ve said before
When the Revolution finally goes hot
Don’t sit at home waiting for it to knock on your door
Top off your bug out bag , grab your gear , top off your mags and head out into the world
Thinking you can fight them at your home is bad intel
Take the fight to them , success will be greater
