Well, I hadn't heard about this until today when I saw the released video:
http://www.katv.com/news/stories/0710/751345.html
On May 20, Officer Bill Evans pulled over a father and son from Ohio while they were traveling along I-40. The father, Jerry Kane, got out of their mini-van and talked with Officer Evans. A short time later, Sgt. Brandon Paudert, son of the West Memphis Police Chief, arrived as backup.
Minutes later, the traffic stop turned deadly as Kane's 16-year-old son Joseph jumped out of the passenger seat and opened fire with an AK-47. The pair jumped back in their car and sped off, leaving both officers to die. The suspects were then spotted at a nearby Wal-Mart where they were confronted by authorities.
Gunfire was exchanged. Crittenden County Sheriff Richard Busby and Deputy W.A. Wrenn were shot, but recovered. The father and son were also hit by gunfire. They both died from their injuries.
There's a video link in that article to the dashcam footage from the initial stop. Security camera footage of the shootout at Walmart is here:
Possibly NSFW ads on the page (http://www.nothingtoxic.com/media/1278044067/Father_And_Son_Crime_Duo_Killed_In_Shootout_With_C ops_Outside_Memphis_Walmart)
It's sickening. In the dashcam footage, the murders take place off camera, but it does show the son exiting the van with the AK-47. After a few minutes, the son gets back in, followed by his dad. As the dad drives the van off, you can see the son firing more shots from the rifle. Doing a little internet snooping, I found this memorial page for the two scumbags:

Apparently, the two murderers were involved in some sort of Sovereign Citizen self-help thing. It's amazing to me that there are that many people who can look at this footage and say that the officers that shot the two murderers should be criminally charged. These two fucks murdered two officers on a simple traffic stop, then opened fire on more officers in a busy Walmart parking lot, and these people look up to them as heroes and "healing spirits" who will always be remembered. Just fucking disgusting that we have to deal with scum like this. Most of the posters on the memorial page say that the dashcam footage doesn't prove that these two were the ones that killed the officers, despite a multiple clear shots of the father and the vehicle license plate. Lunatics.
