Police say they are looking for a suspect in multiple targeted shootings. The suspect is armed and dangerous. The suspect is a white man with brown hair wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants, and he may be impersonating law enforcement.

It’s the outfit that he is wearing (black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants) that may give the appearance of law enforcement.
