Shots Fired
Yesterday, my closest friend, who is a Sheriff’s Detective in Indiana, was shot at by an individual they were attempting to arrest. He writes about the experience briefly over at his weblog:
Yesterday afternoon while serving an arrest warrant, the suspect fled and shot at myself and other officers.
I’ll have more thoughts on my experience later, but in the mean time here is the article from our local paper, The Republic
I’m just glad he’s alright.

Bryan,
In 1996, an old friend of mine, that I hadn’t talked to in awhile was shot 6 times while responding to a routine call. He survived and stayed on the job for another 4 years as a field training officer. He left in 2000. He was lucky to survive! This just goes to show, we get paid good money for what we do, while the real heroes have to work crazy hours, and endure unreasonable risks just to pay the mortgage!
