KOB4 I got it. Smith was “wearing a brown hoodie and jacket” when he allegedly shot Hare, and was “last seen walking on Interstate 40 at mile marker 304.” That’s what it means. He is considered armed and dangerous.
The shooting occurred when Hare was sent to help a motorist who had a flat tire. The driver, identified as Smith, allegedly approached Hare’s cruiser and spoke to him about the apartment before pulling out a gun and shooting him.
The rabbit had two young children.
