Chattanooga police officer shot (Not killed)

[xsubsailor]

This is happening way too frequently. 

 A Chattanooga police officer was shot three times on Thursday morning in the Glenwood community prompting a massive city-wide search that includes "all available resources." According to CPD Chief Fred Fletcher, the officer was checking an abandoned building to make sure no one was inside. That is when a man came out.

At some point the suspect opened fire and the officer was hit three times. The officer was treated at Erlanger for injuries not considered life-threatening and later released. The officer's family has been notified but his name is not publicly released.

It's happening everywhere but sometimes we notice it more when it's close to home. 

I have customers all over the US and not a week goes by without a discussion about just this sort of thing. 

Prayers and best wishes for the officer...

Just goes to show; you just never know what you will run into. I wouldn’t expect a shooter when checking an abandon building for a squatter. Of course, the bad guy has the advantage of surprise anyway.

I hope the Officer is okay; sounds like he is. He drove himself to the hospital and has been released.

The nut cases are now targeting cops; be careful out there.
