Eulalio Tordil arrested
On Thursday, 62-year-old Eulalio Tordil, an officer with the Federal Protective Service, murdered his wife, a science teacher in the parking lot of a suburban high school in Prince George County, Maryland. His wife had a protective order against him, and the FPS says that they took his duty weapon and badge and had him assigned to administrative duties since the order went into effect.
That didn’t stop him from tailing his wife when she went to pick their children from school and confronting the woman. When a passerby tried to intervene in that confrontation, Tordil shot him in the shoulder and then turned the weapon on his wife, firing several times (witnesses say they heard four shots) until she was dead.
While police were looking for him, Tordil went on to shoot three more people in Montgomery County, Maryland, one of whom died. He was finally arrested yesterday at the site of one of the kill zones of the “DC Beltway Snipers” John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo. Tordil was apprehended as he left the same restaurant where Muhammad and Malvo planned their first murder. Muhammad shot ten people to cover for his intended murder of an estranged wife. Tordil seems to have been working that plan in reverse.
Anyway, here’s the video of Tordil’s arrest;
The last murder and his arrest all happened down the road from where we used to live before we moved to West Virginia.

We need to run background checks and disarm federal agents now./sarc off
Sheepdog kills sheep. Need more sheepdogs to protect sheep from sheepdogs.
So a “highly-trained” federal agent went on a violent rampage, eh? As I’ve said before, “…but they’ll GIVE that asshole a gun!”
Restraining orders really do work, don’t they?
About as well “gun free” zones, like the High School.
Yeah, that really worked well, didn’t it? Think anybody will learn anything from that?
Oh, absolutely!
Not.
Yup! They are worth the paper they are printed on. The best restraining order is a gun plus the training and will to use it.
The few guys I have seen served with a restraining order did not say, “Oh geez now I have to go see my lawyer and a judge to get this resolved.” No they went ballistic and called their ex as the serving agent everything in the book and then stomped about until they were sent home for the day. I understand the legal purpose of the order but they seem to always inflame an already bad situation and some, like this ass hole, then act violently in response.
That is a very common phenomena. And why folks who must get them are advised to make themselves very difficult to find for a while after it is issued.
Following a well known routine just ain’t smart. (Not that it is the victim’s fault, but it still ain’t smart.)
And just think, if MD was a “shall issue” state, would he have been stopped before he shot as many as he did?
Memo to gun-grabbers: what laws do you want to propose that would have stopped this rampage? Or better yet, how many laws did he break before he ever pulled the trigger, let alone by the time he was apprehended?
Amazed they still let him work for FPS even at that age and let him have a gun at that age in that position.
From what I understand, the first stranger he shot closed with him and the bad guy was able to disarm him and then shot him.
Never get that close to someone in this circumstance unless there is no other option.
This just in:

“Law enforcement sources tell WUSA, Tordil recently bought two .40 caliber handguns – and they matches ballistics at all 3 crime scenes.”
You mean he broke the law? Criminals don’t normally do that, do they?
Amazing, ain’t it? So he presumably broke Federal law by purchasing or retaining firearms after being served with a protective order, took those illegal firearms to a Gun Free Zone to shoot his wife and a bystander, and then went on a John Muhammad-like shooting spree to cover up the crime in the May Issue state of Maryland.
Clearly more gun laws are in order!

The only real protective order is a strong survival instinct.
A shot gun and a good dog would go a long way with that survival instinct, PN.
That was the general idea.
Once someone crosses the line of criminal, they are committed. At that time they toss all morals out the window with various avenues of rationalization…
More proof that gun free zones do NOT work…
If it’s true that he disarmed one of the victims as was already said, do NOT approach the puke until you know they are disarmed or dead…
Another reason to not even visit the NE corridor for anyone that wants to live…
