Pa. man charged in shootout with at least 7 cops was 'just not handling the pandemic well': lawyer

In the time leading up to his shootout with police, Adam Zaborowski lost his job, lost a custody battle for his child and was “just not handling the pandemic well,” his lawyer said Sunday.

The 35-year-old Slatington man was charged Saturday with attempting to kill seven police officers near his home at 801 Main St. That shootout followed an incident Friday where Zaborowski allegedly shot at a clerk at Cigars International in Bethlehem Township. He allegedly refused to wear a face mask in the cigar store despite the threat of COVID-19.

...

Martin confirmed that at least seven officers were put in harm’s way during the Saturday shootout. Zaborowski shot an AK-47 assault rifle and a semi-automatic handgun at police, Waldron said. One officer from Slatington was injured during the gunbattle, police said.

This is why we are having uptick. Why Wolf doesn't roll the region back to yellow or red I don't know. How many more have to die before stop making political moves and start working to lock down this country properly. Victoria in Melbourne Australia is going back into a strict lock down after they surge again.
