I hope and pray the officers are ok. This is so sad.
Hopefully the officer was a better shot. speedy recovery. Shoulder is close to the head glad it wasn’t worse.
Thank you officer for putting your life on the line for our better sake. You are a hero and a bad ass. Thats how its done didnt have to depend on the public to save them. Like that cop a week or two ago on that domestic call.
I heard the gunfire, at least 30 shots, maybe 40. Rumor is that it was some people from Eureka involved in the shooting.
It’s a Mad mad mad mad world🌍
