the suspect was shot and now is at the same hospital that the officer died at

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. I find myself thinking that it would be very hard to be a doctor at that

hospital and adhere to "first do no harm" at that hospital.

[greenbriar]

15. it sure would be hard to watch an officer die and then have to treat the killer

wow

what a day

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. hugs prayers to the officer's family

[greenbriar]

5. and again this thread gets neg repped

some people need to pull their head out of their ass

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. Well yuo and I have fans

and yes I have actually contacted management about that.

[greenbriar]

13. and for the life of me, I can not figure out why

don't think I am much of a threat to anyone and am nice unless crossed

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. You and I got opinions, and they are contrary to some folks

that's why.

The system has created cliques.

Unintended consequences and all that

[Fumesucker]

22. Eh, I think the cliques were already here..

And pretty much anyone who has strong opinions is going to hack off other people who have strong opinions of the opposite polarity.

Unrec has indeed set the cliques loose on each other even more than they already were though.

[greenbriar]

19. I have too

enough is enough

[Liberal_in_LA]

18. agreed.

[petronius]

7. Really sad, I'm glad they caught the murderer at least

:(

WICHITA — A Sedgwick County sheriff's deputy has died after being shot and wounded earlier today, and the suspect in the case was shot and critically wounded as he tried to avoid capture early this evening, authorities said.

The deputy was shot twice - in the torso and in the leg or foot - at about noon today at 3636 S. Rock Road, where he had responded to the report of a larceny, Sedgwick County Sheriff Robert Hinshaw said.

The call may have been "a set-up" to lure a law enforcement officer to the house, Hinshaw said.

The deputy is the first local law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty in nine years, and the first sheriff's deputy to be killed since 1997.
