Hawaii
Police Chief Louis Kealoha identified the officer who was killed Saturday night while helping stranded motorists on the H-1 freeway as 3-year patrol officer Garret Davis as Kealoha urged Honolulu drivers to drive more carefully.

"People gotta slow down on the highways," Kealoha said today at HPD headquarters, where a memorial to Davis was set up.

Davis, 28, graduated from the HPD academy in 2008 with the 161^st cadet class.

He grew up in Folsom, Calif., attended San Francisco State University and moved to Honolulu to join the police department, HPD spokeswoman Caroline Sluyter said.

Davis has a young daughter who lives in California, Sluyter said. Services are pending.

Davis was assigned to the Wahiawa sub-station and was delivering paperwork to the main headquarters on Beretania Street when he stopped in the far, left-hand lane of the east-bound, H-1 freeway at the Kaonohi Street overpass in Aiea to help a 32-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman in a stalled vehicle, Kealoha said.

He had turned on the blue lights to his patrol car when he was allegedly struck from behind by a 41-year-old man driving a Chevrolet Silverado, Kealoha said.

"Officer Davis turned on his blue lights and stopped behind the stalled vehicle to shield it from on-coming traffic and to alert other drivers to the stall," Kealoha said.

Davis' patrol car was then rammed into the stalled vehicle and caught on fire, Kealoha said.

"He didn't even have a chance to get out," Kealoha said.

Emergency Medical Services personnel said the officer's car was hit at 8:19 p.m., sending it crashing into a pickup truck.

The couple Davis was trying to help was taken to a hospital in guarded condition, Kealoha said.

RIP Senior Police Officer Gail Thomas



The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

A veteran Atlanta police officer was struck by a vehicle and killed just north of the Downtown Connector late Tuesday night, APD Chief George Turner said.

The officer who was killed -- a 15-year veteran -- was assisting another officer with an earlier traffic accident on the Brookwood Interchange ramp from I-75 southbound to I-85 northbound, and had just gotten out of her patrol car when she was hit, according to Turner.

The Zone 5 morning watch officer had just started her shift when she was hit. The officer, whose name is being withheld until relatives are notified, died at the scene.

The driver whose vehicle hit the officer was arrested, and Turner said that alcohol appeared to have been a factor with the motorist that struck the officer.

The chief said the incident left the officer's colleagues shaken.

"As you can imagine, there are a lot of very raw nerves and emotions," Turner said. "We are very concerned about the family, and also about our family. We encourage our officers to depend on each other and to seek out help."

Jones was arrested after police said he shot an officer responding to a report of suspicious activity. Master Cpl. Sandra Rogers died at a hospital Saturday. She had been with the Aiken Public Safety department for nearly 28 years.

Police say Jones had killed his girlfriend, 21-year-old Cayce Vice, in her Augusta, Ga., apartment, and then fatally shot Rogers.

ALABAMA
A Mobile police officer was fatally wounded and another officer was shot Friday afternoon in an incident that began at the Mobile Metro Jail. The suspect was later shot and killed by police after a standoff.

Officer Steven Green, 36, was stabbed by 24-year old robbery suspect Lawrence Wallace, Jr. in the sally port of the Mobile Metro Jail. Wallace then took Green’s patrol car and crashed thought a sally port door before abandoning the car on Dauphin Island Parkway and hiding under a house.

Green, a husband and father of three small children, was transported to the USA Medical Center where he later died. He had been an officer with the Mobile Police Department since May 2010.

“It is a sad day for the Mobile Police Force and for law enforcement. Our sympathy certainly goes to Officer Green’s wife and family,” Mobile Police Chief Michael Williams said Friday night.

A second officer was wounded in the standoff with Wallace on Daytona Drive. He was treated and released from the hospital Friday.

Wallace was shot and killed Friday evening on Daytona Drive after refusing to surrender to police. He had been arrested earlier in the day after attempting to rob a Dollar General store. He approached the store’s checkout counter, demanded money and cigarettes, then lit the counter on fire after spraying it with lighter fluid. He was tackled by an off duty officer shopping in the store.

RIP Detective David White

MIDDLEBURG, Fla. -
Two deputies were shot during a raid of a suspected meth lab in Middleburg on Thursday evening. One of those deputies and a suspect shot as he ran from the scene both died, according to Clay County Sheriff Rick Beseler.

The second deputy was also hit by gunfire in the incident on Alligator Boulevard just after 6:30 p.m.

Beseler identify the deputy killed as David White, 35, a detective and nine-year veteran of the Sheriff's Office.

"Detective White ... was literally one of the best officers we had," Beseler said. "He will be sorely missed."

White was the first Clay County deputy to be killed in the line of duty in 99 years.

The second detective, Matt Hanlin, was struck in the arm and was taken to Orange Park Medical Center, where he was listed in serious but stable condition.

"This is the darkest day in the history of this agency," Beseler said after visiting the shooting scene.

The suspect's name has not been released.

Five people were arrested at the scene, and authorities said at least some of them may have been staying at the house without the knowledge or permission of the owners.

"Right now the focus of all the members of the Sheriff's Office and the members of the community is with the family of those two officers," Beseler said. "We just ask for everyone's prayers."

The Clay County Sheriff's Office will observe an agency-wide moment of silence at 9 a.m. Friday, which will include radio silence for patrol members.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement will be the lead agency in the investigation of the police-involved shooting and will also assist in the clean up of the drug lab.

Trooper's car



SEATTLE (AP) — A Washington state trooper making a routine traffic stop was shot and killed early Thursday, and dozens of officers canvassed the area looking for the shooter.

The trooper had stopped a pickup around 1 a.m. Thursday about 20 miles west of Seattle across Puget Sound, and radioed the location and license plate number, said Trooper Russ Winger.

When the trooper didn't respond to status checks, a Kitsap County sheriff's deputy went to the scene and found the trooper outside his patrol car.

He was taken to St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma where he was declared dead.

Three hours later, officers found the truck abandoned on a county road near Port Orchard, about two miles from the shooting scene.

Troopers, deputies and other officers searched the area for the driver using dogs and questioning people. They urged residents to stay inside and call 911 if they saw anything suspicious.

Dogs did not pick up a track, Winger said.

Investigators know who the truck is registered to, but don't know if that person is a suspect in the shooting, Winger said.

"It's obviously a high priority and drawing a lot of attention," said Sgt. Ken Dickinson. "We're looking for whoever is associated with that truck."

The slain trooper is a veteran who worked out of Bremerton.

"He worked in the Kitsap area for quite some time," Winger said. "He was a co-worker of mine."

No other information would be released until his family was notified, said Bob Calkins, patrol spokesman. Dozens of patrol cars with lights flashing escorted an aid car carrying the trooper's body about 6:30 a.m. Thursday from the hospital to the Pierce County medical examiner's office.

Friends said Radulescu was born in Bucharest, Romania, and moved to the U.S. when he was 14. He was fluent in Korean, Italian, Spanish, English and Romanian.

Batiste said that he has spoken with Radulescu's son.

Batiste said that Radulescu "had a great personality, a real sense of humor" and was highly sought after to speak at local schools in the community. He said that the man's son is in the military.

"We're all hurting, I'm hurting," Batiste said.
