In Hattiesburg, MS, two Mississippi police officers were shot dead during a traffic stop Saturday night. The shooting happened after Officer Benjamin Deen, 34, stopped a vehicle for a speeding violation. He then called for backup after he found probable cause to search the car. Shots were fired at some point after Officer Liquori Tate, 24, arrived at the scene to help. We got to shoot an Exclusive interview with Ronald Tate, Liquori’s father. Ronald is going to miss him very much and knows he was happy as an Traffic Officer, because he had wanted to be a cop since childhood.
