*IN THE LINE OF DUTY* OFFICER DOWN
Delaware

[Image: Stephen-J-Ballard-Lead-Photo.jpg]
Cpl. Stephen J. Ballard - 32 (pictured above, right corner) was shot several times about 12:10 p.m. Wednesday after he approached a vehicle in the parking lot of a Wawa convenience store near Bear. Ballard, an 8 year veteran of the force, died shortly thereafter. RIP.

State police superintendent Col. Nathaniel McQueen says the vehicle had two suspicious people inside.

McQueen says one man got out of the car and shot Ballard several times before running away. The other man was arrested at the scene.

The shooting suspect barricaded himself in his home in Middletown and has been engaged in an hours-long stand-off with police. Police used a robo-calling system to tell residents in the areas to stay inside and lock their doors.

LE Negotiators were unsuccessful getting the suspect to surrender as he continued to fire upon them, even after they used a robot to break down the door and explosives to blow out the windows of the home. This story is still in progress.
