After a large operation on Wood Bend Drive in Raleigh, Solomon Owens, the man accused of killing Joey Adams, is in jail.
Law Enforcement officials told WRAL a lot goes into operations like that one.
“As officers were about to enter the residence, Mr. Owens shot at the officers. At least one Raleigh police officer returned a fire,” said Raleigh Police Chief Rico Boyce.
According to Lt. David Bradford with the Wake County Sheriff’s Office, officers prepare for the dangers of that exact situation daily, and are equipped with the tools to handle any possible outcome.
“You want to make sure that everything goes correctly so that we don’t get hurt, the suspect doesn’t get hurt, and the public doesn’t get hurt. So there is a lot of planning involved in that,” said Bradford.
According to law enforcement officials the moments leading up to operation like the one on Wood Bend Drive can be nerve-racking. That’s why Bradford said preparation is key.
“Everything that you’ve done. That you’ve trained for is on your mind. You want to just execute the mission perfectly. That’s all it is. Making sure that you don’t fail the mission,” said Bradford.
In a statement to WRAL, the family of Joey Adams said they are extremely grateful to both Raleigh police and Garner police for putting their lives on the line to bring justice to their family.
