A New Hampshire police officer was killed yesterday by a motorist during a confrontation that began as a routine traffic stop. Another man driving by grabbed the dying officer's gun and killed the man who had attacked the officer.

The bystander who leaped into action will face no charges in the case.

That was the story laid out today by New Hampshire Attorney General Kelly Ayotte at a news conference in Concord.

Ayotte said that Corporal Bruce McKay, 48, of the Franconia police pulled over Liko Kenney, 24, yesterday in a routine traffic stop.

Kenney drove away and was then chased and stopped again by McKay, who used a nonlethal stunning spray on him. Kenney then shot McKay at least four times in the upper torso and ran over him, Ayotte said.

Gregory Floyd, a Marine veteran who had been driving by, witnessed the entire incident. He stopped, grabbed the officer's gun and shot and killed Kenney, while his son jumped in McKay's car to radio for help.

Several residents in town said today there were long-standing tensions between McKay and Kenney.

Bill Kenney, of Franconia, Liko Kenney's uncle, said his nephew was a high school dropout who lived in a cabin in nearby Easton, and he and the officer had "bad blood" between them.

Liko Kenney is a cousin of former Olympic skier Bode Miller, Bill Kenney said.

Good work by Gregory Floyd and son but what a friken unnecessary trajedy that seems to have been fostered awhile back.

Gall darn Reporters!

The New Hampshire Union Leader (among other papers) is running a story digging into our Brother Gregory Floyd's past and his troubles.

This Marine Veteran is a real hero and they want to embarrass him. You can read the BS article and post a comment here. I encourage all to do so to support him!

That's a bunch of bull****!!!! Yeah, he may very well have some issue but that doesn't have **** to do with his actions on this day that were outstanding!!!!!

Hell, give him a pat on the back. Gregory Floyd helped a fallen police officer in a time of need, he does not need to answer any damn questions. Makes me ashamed when people turn their backs on a man when they should be shaking his hand. I betcha Officer Bruce Mckay wouldn't like this type of thanks being bestowed on a hero. What has our country become?

Thus proving yet AGAIN that the media is "unbiased".

NOT...........
