Police officer killed in west Phoenix
 

:( R.I.P. wonder if its an illegal that killed him we'll see.

A Phoenix police officer was shot and killed while looking for a suspicious car in a westside neighborhood early Wednesday.

Sgt. Trent Crump said the shooting happened about 1 a.m. in the area of 19th Avenue and Indian School Road.

The suspect was found hiding in a shed and was shot with a rubber bullet, Crump said. He was not seriously injured.

The wounded officer was rushed in a police cruiser to St. Joseph's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His name was not released.

Crump said the officer was responding to a call of "shots fired" and a Mustang driving in the area with its lights out. He spotted the car as it backed into a carport and that was when he was shot, he said.

"We do not know how many shots were fired or whether the officer returned fire," said Crump.

"It's a difficult morning, it's going to be a difficult day," he said.

Police Chief Jack Harris was notified while in Washington, D.C., to meet with Attorney General Eric Holder to discuss Arizona's immigration law. Crump said Harris was returning to Phoenix immediately.

Several people were evacuated from homes in the area of the shooting. The southbound lanes of 19th Avenue were closed just south of Indian School and police advised motorists to avoid the area because of the investigation

fucking shit, when police get killed something is going worng

MS13 are always on active duty to kill police oficers, they are paid to do it and also do it for free for respect. Border patrol agents as well...

whether or not this was done by an illegal i dont know, but there are at all times certain grrousps of illegals looking to kill a cop for sport.

its not a ms13 hood their sur 13 here actually the neighbor where this happened is pretty quiet but up by the mall is where the gangs. hang out.

shit news :(

Of course he was killed by an "illegal"? When is it ever legal to kill a cop?

Many die doing their job.

There will be hell to pay.

sorry to hear

there's talk that the shooter is in the country illegally.(south american)

Comes with the job. Sign up to be a cop, have your shit in order and be prepared to die on any day of the week. :2 cents:

I hope they catch the killer and fry his/her ass immediately after it's proven that they have the right person. Screw putting them in prison for life and wasting tax money keeping some scumbag alive.

he's been caught

there will be a loser aclu attorney there ready to respresent this loser... sweet country

some true words:2 cents::2 cents:

killer wasnt illegal but hes a gang member

I bet he still pays more taxes than you :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

So, that makes it okay?

No, it doesn't!

No, but risk comes with it. Just like a coal miner.

We better send in the National Guard.

Oh, wait! We are! :)

I don't hear anyone talking about this guy... They are in FAR more danger than any cop in this country, but nobody points out when a US soldier gets killed.. WTF !
