A few for our deputies please

Though I know they are well trained, and it comes with the "job". I cannot feel that a few prayers of a speedy investigation, and the ability to put this all behind would hurt any. In a small rural area like this things of this nature affect many of us as we are friends with our officers and deputies. My thoughts and prayers go out to them all....

Hannibal, MO — A traffic chase that began in Perry, Mo., early Sunday morning, March 11, and continued into Hannibal ended when the suspect threatened officers with a weapon and was shot by Marion County deputies. The shooting was near Fiddlestiks restaurant on Marion County Road 412.
The suspect, a 42-year-old Marion County man whose name was not being released, was reported in critical condition Sunday afternoon in a St. Louis area hospital, according to Marion County Sheriff Jimmy Shinn.
Shinn provided the following report of the incident. At approximately 7 a.m. Sunday, Marion County officers joined a pursuit that began in Ralls County, after the suspect had fled a crime scene in Perry, Mo. He was wanted for the burglary of a hotel in Perry.
Marion County officers joined the pursuit as it entered Marion County on U.S. 36 and Route H.
The suspect’s vehicle led officers into Hannibal, at which time the Hannibal Police Department deployed a spike strip in front of Hannibal High School on U.S. 61. The spike strip blew out the suspect’s right front tire.

The vehicle continued on and turned west onto U.S. 36.
From 36, the suspect then took the off-ramp at County Road 412, where he tried to make the turn into a driveway off County Road 412.
He lost control of the vehicle, and it stopped in the embankment in front of Fiddlestiks. The suspect exited the vehicle and refused to show the officers his hands.
He then went back into the vehicle and came out with a weapon and brought the weapon up at officers. The suspect was then shot by two deputies. He was flown to a hospital in the St. Louis area.
Calling it a tragic incident, Shinn said “it is sad we have to go to that extreme, but there are times in our job we do have to.” He added "it will be difficult for the officers involved.”
Shinn reported he called the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s DDCC division to investigate the incident.

Prayers for the officers.

Dirtbag raised a weapon so they had every right to shoot him. Dead man does not tell lies so hope for the best. Now those that say he does not deserve to die, that is your opinion too, just like mine.

We had an incident up here about two years ago when a 17 or 18 year old called in a car jacking incident at the local shopping center, stating his car was stolen at gun-point and the high-speed chase was on. The "stolen" car was chased all over the county finally turning onto a dead-end road. The car stopped with two local police cars blocking his escape. The "suspect" came out of the car charging the officers pointing a black hand-gun. The officers ordered him to drop the weapon and stop, of course he kept coming. The officers both shot, killing the suspect, which turned out to be the teen who originally called in the "car-jack". Obviously he had problems in his life that he could not resolve and figured suicide by police was the answer. Tough for the officers and family to deal with.

Glad to see you supporting your local officers. This is my 27th year as a police officer and I know these officers are going through a lot. Sounds like a good shoot, and hopefully it will be over for them quickly. Prayers sent. An instructor in the academy told us it is better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6. Words to live by.

I work hand and hand with them on a regular basis. We share a common ground of public service. My local police chief gets a gift of appreciation annually during law enforcement appreciation week. Our men AND women in law enforcement have mine, and my families back 24/7/365 and it does not go un-noticed. I refuse to let a handful of the "bad ones" we all may have run into change my outlook on law enforcement.
