A "Welfare Check" call for service gone awry. The perks of being a cop. Stay safe out there.

If it was really his QRF he’d pack them into his gulfstream instead.

From the Daily Mail:

After the massacre, Sheriff Len Hagaman told WRAL that people who knew Barnes had called law enforcement last weekend to warn them that he was dangerous and had 'a lot of guns.'

Hagaman said Barnes appeared to have a plan for 'taking people out' but did not elaborate to the outlet what those plans were.

'They were just kind of giving us the heads-up – this is what he's thinking about doing – and for us to be careful,' Hagaman told the outlet.

But deputies were never able to find him until he showed up to the house on Wednesday - and officials suspect he may have planned to target members of the public but was kept in the home by the officers who died.

'We were trying to get him away from someplace where we could have more control over him. He just decided to take this route,' Hagaman told WRAL.

'I'm convinced now, in this situation, given the layout of the neighborhood ... they did their job by keeping him in the house,' he said, referring to the deputies who worked to contain Barnes inside his family's home.

This tragedy occurred in Boone, NC. Boone is also IHQ for Samaritan’s Purse, sister Ministry to the BGEA which is <2 hr drive from Boone. Along with the Clergy of Watauga County the BGEA Chaplins were in great need by the Community. Chris was a good friend and worked many shifts for me when Off-Duty. I did not have the honor of meeting Logan but our Security Manager hired Logan several years ago fresh out of BLET to work with the Ashe County Sheriffs Office.

Apparently yes. Chaplains in fancy trailers who show up to an incident and provide... something or other. The first step in becoming one of said chaplains is "Pray on becoming one", according to their website. They don't seem to require any sort of theological education or training outside a couple of Graham's seminars.
