Auburn police officer William Buechner, who served on the citys force since April 2006, was shot and killed Sunday night by a man wearing body armor and a helmet while responding to a domestic dispute, according to police.

Auburn Mayor Ron Anders made the announcement in a press conference on Monday morning, about four hours after the suspect in the slaying, Grady Wayne Wilkes, was taken into custody.

Wilkes was charged with capital murder, three counts of attempted murder, and one count of second degree domestic abuse.

Authorities said Monday they plan to seek the death penalty.

When you shoot a police officer, were going to pursue the death penalty, Lee County District Attorney Brandon Hughes said. Absolutely.

Wilkes, 29, is also charged with shooting officers Webb Sistrunk and Evan Elliott. One was transported to East Alabama Medical Center and another to Columbus Regional Medical Center. Other officers had responded to the domestic dispute call, but were uninjured.

Wilkes was arrested at 7:12 a.m., a little more than nine hours after the initial call was made at 10:10 p.m. The arrest came at the 900 block of Lee Road 9 in Auburn, within about a mile of where the incident occurred on the 3000 block of Wire Road.

"It's a great responsibility to tell you what a sad day this is for our community," Anders said. "On behalf of our elected officials and our entire community, we're very sorry that we have lost an officer in the line of duty."

Specific details of the arrest were still unanswered by Chief of Police Paul Register, including details of the domestic call that police received. Police said Wilkes knew the victim in the domestic incident and that he was not the person who placed the call.

Register would not say if the officers returned fire.

Though Wilkes is from Daleville, he was living in the Auburn community, and didnt have any run-ins with Auburn police before. Wilkes served in the military, police confirmed, but it was unclear where he served, and in what branch.

Wilkes did not resist arrest, and was cooperative once in custody, Register said. No one was injured in the arrest.

Police acted on a tip in apprehending him. He is expected to appear before a judge within the next day or two.

Police said nearly 100 agencies, including the FBI were called into assist in the manhunt and subsequent investigation.

Register said he has never had an officer killed in the line of duty during his 31 years of service.

It will be difficult for our entire community, Register said. As the mayor mentioned, this is not the kind of thing were used to have happening here. But were not immune to things that can happen. This will be difficult for us.


Basically a woman he was with called 911 to report a domestic incident, and when the police showed up in camo, body armour, and a helmet and shot at them. 3 were hit, one later died, and he managed to escape capture for roughly 9 hours.

A woman took some choice public posts from his Facebook account

I'm not sure how that aligns with their "blue lives matter" but I suspect it won't come up as the terrorist in this case is white (as most have become, since Trump's inauguration).

https://heavy.com/news/2019/05/manhunt-grady-wayne-wilkes/

Wilkes was accused of rape by a 28-year-old woman in January, AL.com reported, citing court records it had obtained. Charges were not filed against Wilkes and the order of protection was not granted, AL.com reported.

Wilkes is a supporter of Pres. Donald Trump and took to Facebook to show his support for Trump policy. Wilkes praised Trump in October of 2016 while blasting every fragile feminist brain victims of a bullshit form of rape.

Trump makes a comment years agotriggers every fragile feminist brain in the countrythey scream,stomp and swear that they are also victims of some bullshit form of rape that they made up yesterday..Donald Trump, I drink to you my friend.

Wilkes shared his political views. Hes an avowed anti-Hillary Clinton Trump supporter and, for example, in 2016 called Haiti a black hole and said the nations social end economic polices made it a textbook (example of) natural selection.

Wilkes often shared Breibart posts and his own candid conservative commentary.


Another fine member of Trump's cult.

I'm not. He posted a Putin meme and a video of that goobie that dressed up like an evil Captain America. That's not enough to label someone alt right white supremacist.

I'm all for bashing the alt right and white supremacists but it seems like your just jumping the gun and making shit up and that doesn't help our cause.

People have been throwing around the Alt Right label way too easily. That and incel. It makes me feel embarrassed to call myself a liberal. We should be above this crap. People see Trump in office and they all start stooping to lower levels.

I don't know if he is a white supremacist or not. I have made no claims on that either way. If he posts memes on social media and that's his method of communication and a go-to activity for him, I just don't see him not being alt right. People who aren't alt right don't tend to gravitate toward memes generally speaking.

Wait, are you trying to imply sharing memes in general is a potential sign of someone being alt right? If so, thats pretty stupid and short sighted when memes are imbedded into almost everything from general conversation to advertisement.

I thought you meant he was clearly sharing alt right memes, not that he was sharing memes in general.

*shrug* my mother is 67 and I don't even know if she knows what the term meme even is. In fact I think I had to explain it to her a few months ago when I mentioned something about it (which would have been regarding alt right trump supporters). She is actually slightly more liberal than I am about most things.
