Officer-involved shooting: Ambrose had days-old gun permit

WATERLOO, Iowa --- A Waterloo resident who was shot and killed by police after allegedly pointing a gun at a crowd Sunday morning had obtained a permit to carry a gun days earlier, according to authorities.

Records at the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Office show Derrick Ambrose Jr. received his permit on Nov. 13, following a delay to adjudicate a drug charge.

Less than a week after he received the permit, Ambrose, 22, was dead after an incident outside a nightclub and fleeing from Officer Kyle Law.

Derrick Johnson, a friend of Ambrose, said Ambrose didn't carry a gun because he had been threatened but obtained his license because other acquaintances had theirs.

He would have been ineligible after the assault/property damage/tasered by cops incident in 2010, under shall-issue or may-issue anyway.

Why the fuck do we expunge these incidents? They are a rare glimpse into a troubled mind. they should be used to maximum effect.
