"8:40 a.m.: Witnesses said the deputy was shot twice in the upper torso and was bleeding heavily. Meanwhile, sheriff's deputies have brought in an armored vehicle."

[Enterprise]

"9:53 a.m.: Police radio transmissions confirm the suspect has been shot."

May the suspect die and burn in hell.

Sorry to hear this. Hope the office pulls through.

My prayers for the officer.

Other thoughts for the perp.

Thanks. It’s an Obama voter area of Fresno. My prayers for the officer.

Calif is quagmire - time to pull out.

I second your remark and hope the officer makes it.

Fresno is getting really bad. Yesterday... shopping at Kohl's and I noticed three young A/A men with boat loads of clothes in their arms. Up 2 no good. Sure enough as we were leaving they crashed the doors... about knocked me over and ran like cockroaches to their dark blue gangbanger sedan. Couldn't get the license plate... too far away. Wished there was a big ol police dog there.

Prayers for the officer. Too many are mercilessly shot for some inane reason. We have a friend who is a Fresno police officer and he was shot 7 times a few years ago. Thank God he recovered.

The scum that did this will NOT get away with it. That you can be sure.

KMJ radio report just now by Dennis Hart was that the Deputy drove up on a domestic disturbance call and was shot through the windshield of the patrol vehicle. The suspect fled and was found a short distance away. He opened fire again and shot a police dog. The police fired back and killed the suspect.

I’m glad your friend wasn’t killed. Occasionally the news shows incidents of Obama voters swarming a store in groups and loading up with merchandise and fleeing the store.

You’ve really got to be a massive looser to think the officer is your major problem in a domestic situation. “Hey, I’m fighting so screw anyone who comes by to make sure neither I or my wife get hurt.”

The perp got what he deserved.

[GovernmentShrinker]

I’m glad to hear the perp is dead. I hope the officer and the dog will recover fully.

[jazusamo]

Thanks for the ping and update. Another incident that proves domestic calls are one of the most dangerous for LEO’s. Thankfully the other officers have prevented this turkey from repeating it.

The latest on KMJ was that the dog, named Reno, was shot in the face and has lost an eye. It is undergoing emergency surgery and fighting for its life. Also, a second Deputy was injured by glass fragments.
