Two local officers down...

[RD62]

Two local officers were injured here in the last 24hrs.

A Lexington County Deputy was injured attempting to serve a warranty on a driver. The driver fled the scene and the officer was injured though no it appears not seriously.

Also a deputy and friend from my former dept, was shot once in the arm while serving a narcotics warrant yesterday. The SOB was selling drugs to school kids. They knocked, no answer, so they forced the door. The suspect started firing a .357 and hit the Deputy in the arm, and I've been told once in the vest in the abdomin. The deputy returned fire, and a fellow officer shot the suspect once, killing him.

Yeah, that did kind of make me smile. The injured deputy fired 16rnds emptying his weapon. The other officers also returned fire, I don't how many rounds in all were expended.

I think the dealer picked the wrong guys, on the wrong, day and had the wrong odds....

like I have always heard is that the only fair gunfight is 5 of us to one of them.

I will also have them in my prayers and hope they have a quick and full recovery.

Thank you God for watching over them.
