God **** bastard set him up, they faked a call into the sheriffs office for the deputy to come to his house..the deputy did, He was shot twice and takin to the hospital and died a few hours ago . I cant believe some people, all the things they do for us and they go back at them like this!!?? wat is the deal America? this guy was out on parole and still did this. They had roads blocked off like crazy around here, it took them a few hours to find the jerk that did it, they flushed him out of a house w/ tear gas, chased him through a field shot him and then took him to a hospital, let that ******* bleed out and die (sorry for the language but c'mon) so last I heard unfortunately the jerks alive and at a hospital. anyways just thought I'd share,
My prayers are out to his family and our county department.
Saw this on the news before I left for work. Rock and 47th were blocked off so we had a lot of people complaining and a few of the administration was stuck in the blocked of zone. It's a **** shame how stupid people are. They were closing down schools around the area.
They should of just let the s.o.b. bleed out in the hospital. What a pathetic person.

As someone who is at 29 years in LE, it is always senseless, that a man/woman trying to help someone is cut down. Now everyone TV news and politicians will say it is a need for gun control, and never take responsiblity for the way the prision system and welfare system is in our country. May God keep the Deputy and his family in the palm of his hand.
I attended my County Sheriff's citizen academy two years ago and one of the speakers was a local deputy whose brother (an officer in a different county) was murdered. His brother had responded to a call when he was ambushed. The shooter was also the caller and waiting on his balcony with a rifle when the officer arrived. The shooter fired when the officer was getting some gear out of his squad's trunk.
I've visited Wichita KS (McConnell AFB) on a couple of occasions and have special memories of the area as well as an event that I associate with the base. Best wishes to the deputy's surviving family and the Sheriff's Department.
From someone who also has a loved one in LE my thoughts go out to the family. If the b@$*ard does live I hope that he spends his remaining years rotting away in a maximum security prison.
