2ndGenHomeschooler Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I was just reading about it. The article I read said one officer was killed and the other injured. It's horrible. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrub Jay Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Both officers have died now and the gunman killed himself. Sounds like he did it on a busy subway platform, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momof3 Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 We took a big plate of cookies to our police dept this morning, just to say, 'thank you' & 'merry Christmas'... The officers were very surprised & grateful. One of them told dh, "Thanks! Not to much appreciation for us right now." Not diminishing at all the incidents of police brutality that are there, but there are a lot of good cops out there - and we definitely owe them a ton!

unsinkable Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 This is just horrible. It makes me so sad for these men, their loved ones, their co-workers. It is sickening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Just saw this. How horrible at any time, but right before Christmas? Their poor poor families. This is also a domestic violence homicide. He killed his former girlfriend first. Just like the Sydney gunman was charged as an accomplice in the death of his wife. I'm glad the killer killed himself. The families of those shot won't have to endure a trial. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 What is there to say. It is a terrible tragedy. I am so sorry for those men's families. And the woman who was killed as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelbe5 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 No words . . . We are close friends with a homeschoing family where Dad is a police officer. I worry about him every day right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy22alyns Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 It's just more anger, death, violence... very, very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyD Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 This is also a domestic violence homicide. He killed his former girlfriend first. Just like the Sydney gunman was charged as an accomplice in the death of his wife. I did not know that about the Sydney gunman. And of course the Newtown killer began by killing his mother. It is just ghastly, all of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I did not know that about the Sydney gunman. And of course the Newtown killer began by killing his mother. It is just ghastly, all of it. :( Yes, it's also kind of like Trayvon Martin's death. George Zimmerman also had a history of DV....and really never should have been given a gun permit. There's been some talk on if DV was taken seriously, then the Sydney guy never should have been out on bail to do that tragedy. http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2014/dec/17/man-haron-monis-bail-domestic-violence-taken-seriously-terrorism So, so much violence in the world. Praying that all of the WTM boardies and their families stay safe this holiday season and always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great thing to do - and I definitely agree with your last statement. My cousin is a police officer in a smaller city. Even so, life is not easy.
