Man Who Ambushed Cops Had Anti-government Beliefs

(AP) — A man who set his house on fire and ambushed responding police officers held "anti-government, anti-establishment" views and had previously threatened law enforcement, authorities said Sunday. The deputy who was wounded was shot while telling firefighters to stay away. Because he was wearing a bullet-proof vest, his injuries were not life-threatening. Holley's name and address had been entered into a law enforcement computer system because of his previous threats, but the 911 dispatcher who took the fire call put in the address of a neighbor who reported the blaze, so the alert wasn't activated and the Leon County deputy who responded first had no warning, according to an official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to release the information.
