The names of two officers involved in the shooting of three children in Hugo, OK have been released over a week after the tragic incident took place.
Hugo Police Department detectives Billy Jenkins and Chad Allen have been identified as the officers who opened fire on a vehicle driven by William Devaughn Smith, 21, whom they suspected of robbing a pizza shop. The bullets struck three of the four children sitting in the back seat.
“My 4-year-old daughter was shot in the head, and she has a bullet in her brain, and my 5-year-old has a skull fracture,” mom Olivia Hill told KFOR. “My 1-year-old baby has gunshot wounds on her face. My 2-year-old wasn’t touched with any bullets.”
Police claim they began shooting because Smith was attempting to run them over with his truck, but many dispute this argument, saying officers simply could have moved out of the way rather than opening fire, especially into a vehicle containing children. It should also be noted that officers were in plain clothes that day, meaning Smith very well may not have known the two men approaching him with guns were police.
“If you don’t know if someone is law enforcement or not, it changes things,”
said family attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons according to TFTP. “I don’t know what happened, but that’s concerning to me.”
The three children who were shot have reportedly all been released from the hospital, yet will continue to deal with “a lot of physical and emotional pain,” Simmons said.
“They are terrified to go anywhere or hear anything,” he said. “The two-year-old keeps asking about ‘Am I going to get shot again.’ It’s a bad deal. The child who had a bullet in the brain, there’s some question now that she may have a permanent injury. She might be looking at a lifetime injury.”

Law Enforcement in America sucks!!!!
So…he chose to evade arrest with kids in the car?
And somehow this is the police's fault?
Perhaps he should have come along quietly
If this were my child I would burn down the police station.
This news coverage (video) is so skewed. I heard the officers were plain clothed but no mention here. But they did mention that the mother had been in a relationship with the suspect being sought. Seems like one is super relevant (I would not stop for a plain clothed man with a gun approaching me) and the other not at all.
The community only has 12 people who are protesting? Love how folks show support through FaceBook!
I want bootlickers to defend this.
Terribly stupid people all around in this story: The imbecile cops, the dumb parents of the kids who have four kids in their teens then get divorce? The dumb boyfriend of the mother of the kids who robs a pizza place with kids in the car. Did he have a gun? That's even worse. What I see in this a F$%ked up country called America full of idiots. It's not just the cops; it's all the dumb dumb people in the US. Use your brains you stupid souls! Wake up and be responsible thinking adults! It's all repetitive and old.
Meanwhile mass shooting white male suspects are arrested and detained peacefully unharmed…… too many racist and reactionary officers.
And people wonder why I hate cops. They were in normal clothes. So how would they know if they were cops? I would run too for my life, if someone was trying to shot me. I had a cop come to my stepfathers house once. Looking for his granddaughter. The cop shot and killed his dog. I guess the door wasn't closed all the way. And while he was knocking the dog went out. The ass hole said that the dog jump up and bitten him. That's was a big fat lie, the dog didn't even had teeth. And he was so old he that he couldn't even jump. The poor dog died for no reason.
"officer-involved shooting" = some cops screwed up
WRONG Police have no duty to protect people
There is NO justification for shooting these children in the head and face..
Idiot suspect of robbing a pizza store tries to run over cops with his truck while he got 3 Kids in it. Cops open fire. Gladly the Kids survive but all of this could have been avoided if that stupid guy had just complied.
They didn’t even identify that they were cops dum dum and were not wearing police uniforms! Comprehension is vital asshole!
This is insane!!!🤬
No whites defending the cops In the comment section?
