What people are saying on social media about deadly Forest Acres shooting

An officer-involved shooting early Sunday on Two Notch Road that left a man dead drew widespread reactions on social media.

The shooting happened around 3:30 a.m. outside Relapse Bar and Grill after Forest Acres officers heard gunshots and saw a car driving “very erratically.”

Police activated lights and sirens and followed the vehicle into the club’s parking lot, where Cpl. Daniel Haddad got out and ordered the driver to stop. When the driver kept moving, Haddad fired, hitting the suspect, who died at the scene.

Residents on social media question whether officers were “trigger happy” or whether the sheriff’s investigation into the club, a location that sheriffs said they respond to regularly, is relevant.

Here’s what some people are saying:
