Also, a couple Krystal employees where shot last night in Decatur.  Terrible thing to end someone's life for a little money.

Pray for them all. Law enforcement officers rarely make the news unless there is a complaint or charge against them, or in this case, when one is shot or killed. I agree with pmull that most don't garner enough respect. Yes there are those who try to operate outside of policy, but for the most part officers do a great job and DO lay their life on the line every day. An officer never really fully knows what he is getting into when engaged with other people. Even something seemingly harmless as a traffic stop. They can never let their guard down. God bless 'em.

That is a real tragedy about those Krystal employees. Gave their lives working a min. wage job. When I was a convenience store mgr. in Ft. Pierce, Fl. many years ago, the 7-11 around the corner from my store was robbed at gunpoint. An elderly lady was working behind the counter. After she gave him the money from the register, he turned and walked to the door. She had a shotgun under the counter, pulled it out and literally blew his head off. She was a local hero. It's going to take more actions like hers to deter these friggin low-life pieces of scum from committing crimes in convience stores, pizza places etc. God bless the Krystal employees and families' God bless the little old lady in Ft. Pierce.

Reports I read. Life-Saver helicopter flew him to Birmingham. I have not heard about his condition.

Does anybody know what he was doing when he was shot?

ANNISTON, Alabama -- Authorities say an Anniston police officer is in critical condition after being shot in the head while on patrol, and police arrested a man after an hours-long search.

Chief Layton McGrady says 27-year-old officer Justin Sollohub stopped to talk to two young men Wednesday morning. The men ran, and the officer chased them on foot.

McGrady says Sollohub was shot while rounding the side of a house. He was taken by helicopter to a Birmingham hospital, where he was in surgery.

Anniston Mayor Gene Robinson tells WBMA-TV that the officer is on life support.

Local, state and federal officers converged on the area with tracking dogs and helicopters.

Police tell The Anniston Star they arrested a 30-year-old Anniston man in connection with the shooting, but released few details about his capture.

Life can be strange sometimes. Decatur is my hometown and I lived in Oxford, Al for 13 years, which abuts Anniston. Anniston is one mean town with lots of crime. All the decent folks move to either Jacksonville or Oxford.

I just cringe when I hear or see of something like this happening.
