Another tragic police shooting (link)

[anolefan]

Two St. Petersburg Police Officers shot and killed earlier today, and one U.S. Marshal injured.

My sons baseball coach retired last year from the SPPD after 31 years of service.

Truly tragic and my thoughts and prayers go out to all involved.

This is very sad, my DH works for SPPD and knew these 2 officers, they are having a very tough time in St Pete right now.

My thoughts go out to the families and friends of the fallen officers.

Thank you for your good thoughts. The Law Enforcment community has had a rough start to this year. People seem to think less and less of killing a officer.

Details of officers down at www.odmp.org

My utmost respect goes to my brothers and sisters who gave the ultimate sacrifice to keep the wolves at bay.

This is so sad. My heart goes out to the families and The local Police Dept. to many have happened in the Tampa/St. Pete area.

Last week a guy decided to walk into a Police Station in Detroit with a shotgun and start shooting, luckily all the officers survived. Follow the link to the video.
