My co-worker, Sherri, and I were heading home from a TDY at Homestead Air Reserve Base last Thursday when the manhunt for cop-killer Shawn Labeet. The shootings had taken place not four blocks from where we had been working. The Air Force put the building into lockdown, but we had managed to leave just before they did so. The Florida Turnpike was closed down and so we had to take surface streets north until we could get into the clear. Along the way, not surprisingly, were several hundred cops from just about every imaginable agency. The second light we were at, an FHP trooper stopped and got out his rifle, the next had cops flying every which way through the intersection, and at the next one, this van sitting in the intersection. We imagine that Labeet must've followed us because he was cornered and ultimately killed in Pembroke Pines which we passed on our way north.
