2 LEOs lost this morning in OKC

Four killed; I-40 westbound closed
Four people are dead, including two law enforcement officers, after a police chase ended in a fiery crash on Interstate 40. Westbound lanes of I-40, from I-35 to Agnew continued to be closed at 8 a.m. Early reports indicate two suspects were headed eastbound in the westbound lanes of I-40 when they collided with an oncoming semi-trailer, causing their car to spin around and hit an OHP patrol car that was not involved in the pursuit.

From what I understand it was another "routine" stop that ended this way. I drove by this on my way to work and the OKC officers car was mangled beyond recognition. My prayers go out to these two LEO's families.

I had often thought about being an LEO.. but I would not want to endure the pain that these individuals and their families seem to face on a regular basis.

May God bless these people.

God, Guns and Guts made this country a great country!

"We lost the first and third and now they are after the Second!(no pun intended)"

As seen in Atlanta's AJC, The Vent: "In response to Cynthia Tucker's column on executing the mentally ill, I pose this question. Why is it that "this country" is only interested in taking care of the mentally ill AFTER they kill an innocent person?"

What does that bring the total of LEO's killed this year to? Seventy-eight.

 

[EQP]

Too many

God rest their brave souls.

Way to many

Heard it on the radio this AM, prayer said.

I heard on the local news that at least one of the runners was a very bad guy and the pursuit was more than justified. More later.

We also had 3 bank robbery suspects run for almost a 100 miles down I-35 at speeds of 100 MPH. Someone shot out some of their tires and they came to a grinding halt in the center median without anyone getting hurt. Another one for the good guys

My prayers to these guys. It does happen to often and tonight I was almost a statistic. The bad guy was running to get to his sawed off shotgun and I beat him to it. After it was all done I realized how close I came to being shot, all I could think about was my six month old baby.
