and another one

PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) ? A Maricopa County sheriff's deputy is hospitalized in critical condition after being shot, and a man sought in that shooting has been found dead.

KTVK-TV reports that the deputy was shot multiple times in a Peoria lot early Tuesday after he encountered a man. The man's former girlfriend had earlier called authorities to voice concern about the man.

Witnesses said they heard shots fired and saw the deputy on the ground in the parking lot.

Peoria police later spotted the man sought in the shooting of the deputy and authorities say the man shot at officers who returned fire.

SWAT team officers ultimately found the man dead in a vehicle. It's not immediately known whether how he was killed.

No identities have been released.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for the suspect.

Thanks for the info bro.
I lost a cat 10 years ago in New York and it's probably traveled to that area by now.
So everything must be ok, because there has to be people there if someone got shot.

That cop has a name (Ruben Garcia). His family and friends are hurting.
If you take this lightly, the next time your wife, daughter, or girlfriend
needs help, tell her to call you at 1-800-ASS-HOLE -- not 911.

Someone the other day in a thread here on GFY said "If you cop lovers want to know how the wounded officer is doing..." or something to that effect.

I never wished police officers ill will. Ever. Yeah, I ranted a little bit when I got a ticket, but now that I'm older I see why I got tickets - I was a horrible driver. Now I have three friends that are police officers, including the guy across the street who is a highway patrol officer. In the event you need the cops... You want them to come running.

I guess being a full time parent changes everything.

Hope he pulls through

Why u mad tho? You know this guy? He could be a complete scumbag (or not)

But less than a month ago you referred to cops as "pigs".

Was it you or was somebody posting under your username?

Sounds like a good way for the local pigs to make money off of the criminals. They've been confiscating and selling off cars and houses and what not for ages. Makes sense.

Yep, I called them pigs. I also call them the 5-0, the popo, and I'm sure many other names in my lifetime. I have what's called a sense of humor.

It's pretty simple no matter what I call them. Criminals bad, cops good. When you have problems, you call the cops.

Here in my hometown - which has a low crime rate - they have reduced our police department by nearly half because of budget issues. Three years ago I couldn't run to 7-11 without seeing at least one cop car. Now... I can't remember the last time I saw one. When you are a family man and a homeowner, that's scary. I'm not scared of someone breaking into my house; I'm afraid of being in a car accident and not having the police respond.

Come to think of it, I can't remember the last time I've been in a 7-11.

I too have a sense of humor. But when I was younger and hung around with the wrong crowd we always called them pigs and it was meant as a derogatory term and still do to this day.

Please hold a good thought for him and his family.

So if criminals = bad...

and cops = good...

what do you call all of those criminal cops?

50 shades of grey?
