    Suspect Cop-Killer Taken to Jail in Trooper's Handcuffs...

    Suspect Cop-Killer Taken to Jail in Trooper's Handcuffs
    AUG. 2, 2018 - The suspected killer of an Arizona Department of Public Safety Trooper Tyler Edenhofer was released from the hospital and taken to jail after being placed in the fallen officer's handcuffs.
    Isaac D. King was taken to jail in Phoenix just before noon Wednesday after being in the hospital for several days following the fatal shooting of Trooper Tyler Edenhofer on July 25, according to KNXV-TV. King was being treated for injuries sustained during a struggle with Edenhofer along Interstate 10 in Avondale. Edenhofer was one of three officers who responded to the scene that night after reports that a man had been throwing rocks at passing vehicles. Two other troopers were also injured in the fight with the suspect.



    The suspected killer of an Arizona Department of Public Safety Trooper Tyler Edenhofer was released from the hospital and taken to jail after being placed in the fallen officer's handcuffs on Wednesday.



    "When law enforcement places handcuffs on a suspect, it instills an immediate sense of justice and satisfaction that an investigation is closer to being resolved. In this case, for the AZDPS family, it begins a course in the healing process," officials said in a statement. "This afternoon, AZDPS detectives and troopers placed Trooper Tyler Edenhofer's handcuffs on suspect Isaac D. King before transporting him from a valley hospital to the county jail. Using Tyler's handcuffs signifies the completion of the call for service that ultimately took his life. It also means we have taken over Trooper Edenhofer's watch and completed the apprehension of his assailant."


    King is facing multiple charges including first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts aggravated assault, three counts endangerment and resisting arrest. Officials said King had been taking medication for anxiety and depression, and did not have a criminal background. Public visitation and funeral services for Edenhofer are set to take place on Thursday and Friday.

    Two cops killed in Canadian shooting...

    Fredericton shooting: Four dead including two police in Canada
    10 Aug.`18 - Canadian police say a suspect is in custody after at least four people - two of them police officers - were killed in a shooting in the eastern city of Fredericton, New Brunswick.
    The city police confirmed the officers' deaths on Twitter. The pair have not been named, and the circumstances around the incident remain unclear. Police have ended a lockdown in the area but continue their investigation. A local TV reporter said he had heard four gunshots just after 07:00 (11:00 GMT).


    Emergency vehicles pictured near the scene in Fredericton, New Brunswick


    Nick Moore, a journalist from CTV Atlantic, posted video footage of the scene on Twitter, showing emergency vehicles outside a house. "Awful news coming out of Fredericton," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted. "My heart goes out to everyone affected by this morning's shooting. We're following the situation closely." Fredericton is the capital of New Brunswick province and home to around 56,000 people.




    It is rare in Canada for police officers to be killed in the line of duty. Between 1961 and 2009, a total of 133 police were killed, and just five in the province of New Brunswick. The province mourned in 2014 when 24-year-old Justin Bourque shot five RCMP officers, killing three. The shooting spree led to a 28-hour manhunt, and shocked the nation. In the aftermath, the RCMP was charged with labour-code violations alleging police officers had not been adequately armed and protected for the situation. Gun laws are more stringent in Canada than in the US, but the number of shootings has nonetheless risen in recent years.

    Detroit Police Officer Dies After Hit-and-Run...

    Detroit Police Officer Dies After Hit-and-Run

    AUG. 15, 2018 - Detroit Police Officer Fadi Shukur was severely injured in a hit-and-run incident on Aug. 4.
    The Detroit Police Department said on Wednesday that officer Fadi Shukur, who was severely injured in a hit-and-run incident on August 4, has died overnight. Shukur, 30, had been with the department for a year and a half. "We stand here before you with a heavy heart," Chief James Craig said. "We want to keep his family in our thoughts and prayers. This is an especially difficult for them."



    Officer Fadi Shukur




    Shukur was struck by a car while walking to his cruiser after responding to a crowd control call. The driver of the SUV that hit him, which was estimated to be travelling at 60 or 70 miles an hour, was 19-year-old Jonathan David Cole of Belleville. Cole turned himself in to police on Aug. 4 and has been charged with second degree murder, reckless driving causing death, and failure to stop at the scene of an accident when at fault resulting in death. Craig said that new charges have been filed following Shukur's death, including a murder charge.


    Shukur's fellow officers in the 8th Precinct have been given counseling resources, Craig said. "Fadi will always be remembered for his magnetic smile. He could light a room up," the chief said. "Certainly in his short time he made a difference." With the death of Shukur, the total number of Detroit officers killed while on active duty this year is now three. Craig said Wednesday was "another dark day" for the department. A new ordinance passed by City Council this year provides up to $12,000 for funeral expenses for officers killed in the line of duty.

    Two police tracking dogs strangled to death by illegal alien...

    Texas Sheriff: Illegal Immigrant Killed Two Tracking Dogs During Pursuit

    September 4, 2018 - Rancher Joe Braman, who is also a Refugio County deputy, brought eight trained tracking dogs with him Saturday during the search for illegal immigrants when two were strangled to death
    Two trained search dogs from Refugio were strangled Saturday by a man whom law enforcement officers were chasing near Holiday Beach, authorities said. The Aransas County sheriff said in a Facebook post he believes the man responsible for strangling the dogs is an undocumented immigrant. U.S. Customs and Border Protection could not be contacted Monday to verify the individual’s immigration status. Sheriff Bill Mills, of Aransas County, said in the Facebook post that a deputy began pursuing a truck Saturday morning about 9 a.m. The pursuit began after an attempted traffic stop on SH 35 north of Holiday Beach. The vehicle, a black Ford truck, initially began to slow down but then accelerated away from the deputy, who tried to stop the truck, Mills said in the post. The truck eventually drove off the road and stopped at a brush line, where about 15 people fled on foot, Mills said.


    A group of law enforcement officers from multiple agencies began searching for the people after they ran through the brush. Officers with the Aransas and Refugio sheriff’s offices, the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department assisted with the search. Refugio County deputies also brought a search dog unit to help locate the suspects. Refugio rancher Joe Braman, who is also a deputy for Refugio County, said he brought eight trained tracking dogs with him Saturday. Together, the group of officers along with the dogs searched for the suspects, all of whom “had scattered on foot in the h eavily brushed area,” Mills wrote in the Facebook post. Braman, who regularly assists the sheriff’s office with manhunts and other searches, said his dogs ran through the brush tracking the group while he and other officers followed on horseback and on foot.



    Rancher Joe Braman, who is also a deputy for Refugio County, said he brought eight trained tracking dogs with him Saturday during the search for illegal immigrants when two of them were strangled to death.



    Searchers found and detained three people during the search before finding three more in a heavy thicket, according to Mills’ post. When they found the second group, officers found two dogs dead from apparent strangulation, Mills said. “The collars carrying trackers had been twisted tightly about their necks, causing their deaths,” Mills wrote. The six people detained by law enforcement, five men and one woman, were briefly jailed at the Aransas County Detention Center before they were picked up by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. One of the men had a tattoo that indicated cartel affiliation, Mills said, but his relationship to any cartel has not been confirmed. Braman’s dogs were not aggressive and were trained only to track, not bite, Braman said. The group of eight dogs were trained to locate individuals and circle and bark near their location. Braman has trained dozens of dogs, including many to track rhino poachers in South Africa.


    Braman said he believed it was just one man who attacked his dogs, and that he was glad that person couldn’t do any additional harm. “You try to make as many apprehensions as you can and get the guys off the street so they don’t hurt others,” he said. Braman’s dogs, ages 8 and 3½, were also used to help locate people with dementia and Alzheimer’s who had wandered away from their homes. Mills could not be contacted for comment Monday because of the Labor Day holiday. Information was not available about what preceded the Saturday morning traffic stop or the whereabouts of the other people who fled the truck.

    Texas Police Officer Shot in the Head Dies...

    Texas Police Officer Shot in the Head Dies
    Sep. 15, 2018 - Fort Worth Police Officer Garrett Hull was shot in the head on Friday as he pursued three men suspected of committing multiple robberies of mostly Hispanic-themed bars

    Within hours of his death on Friday, a memorial that gave people a touchstone to connect with a fallen undercover officer was put into place at the Fort Worth Police Administration building. Three flags stood at half staff and a patrol vehicle decorated with white flowers had been set apart from the rest of the building’s parking lot to honor Fort Worth Police Officer Garrett Hull, who died at John Peter Smith Hospital Friday. A visibly shaken Police Chief Joel Fitzgerald made the announcement during a hastily called news conference broadcast from the hospital on Facebook Live. “We’ve lost a true hero, someone that has dedicated more than one tour of service to this great city and was senselessly killed by three known criminals, two of which are in custody now,” Fitzgerald said.


    Hull was shot in the head earlier on Friday as he pursued three men suspected of committing multiple robberies of mostly Hispanic-themed bars. His fellow officers killed the gunman while loading Hull into a patrol car and taking him to JPS. Hull died at 9:40 p.m., according to the police department. A prayer service at the memorial is set for 6 p.m. Saturday. The Fort Worth Police Administration Building is located in the 500 block of West Felix Street near Interstate 35W, south of downtown. “He was with family, friends and fellow officers. Please continue to pray for his family and those that need it in this tragic time,” the department said in a Facebook post. Fitzgerald said he had received condolences nationwide expressing sympathy for the department, for the city and for Hull’s family.



    Fort Worth Police Officer Garrett Hull was shot in the head on Friday as he pursued three men suspected of committing multiple robberies of mostly Hispanic-themed bars.



    Fiztgerald said Hull’s family had been incredibly strong during this ordeal. “There’s not a dry eye in this house,” he said. “Our whole department is hurting right now. We’ve received messages throughout this country not just from the North Texas community in support of police officer Hull and his family.” Officers returned fire, killing one of the suspects during a brief pursuit that ended blocks away from Los Vaqueros sports bar at 403 W. Biddison St., where the robbery began. Two suspects were apprehended by police and were being questioned Friday while Hull was clinging to life. The suspected gunman, Dacion Steptoe, was killed on the scene, Fitzgerald said Friday. Samuel Mayfield, 23, and Timothy Huff, 33, were charged Saturday with capital murder. They are facing 10 counts of aggravated robbery because 10 patrons of the Los Vaqueros sports bar were inside when the suspects attempted to rob the establishment, according to Lt. Chris Britt.


    Another police officer was near Hull when shots were fired, which accounts for their counts of attempted capital murder, Britt said. Huff and Mayfield were questioned about their possible involvement in as many as 15 robberies, Britt said. Jail records did not indicate where the suspects were from or whether bond has been set, and police did not immediately reply to questions. No other Fort Worth officer has died in the line of duty since Dwayne Freeto was struck and killed by a drunk driver in 2006. The Brotherhood for the Fallen has set up a link for donations for Hull’s family on its Facebook page. On Saturday morning, about a dozen police attended a previously planned “Breakfast With Citizens on Patrol” event at the Culinary Schools of Forth Worth’s Camp Bowie Boulevard location. A police supervisor said it was too soon for officers to begin talking about Hull, and said they were “just trying to put on a brave face for this event.” The supervisor said that Hull’s funeral was being planned Saturday, with the family making decisions related to organ donation.

    Texas Police Officer 'Fighting for His Life'

    September 14, 2018 - Undercover Fort Worth Police Officer Garrett Hull was shot in the head while trying to stop suspects in an armed robbery early Friday morning and is in currently listed in critical condition
    The shooting happened shortly after 12:30 a.m. at the Los Vaqueros bar and restaurant in the 400 block of W. Biddison Street , police said. Undercover officers were following what Fitzgerald called a “robbery crew.” Three suspects in a series of area robberies were being staked out at the restaurant, police said, when the suspects tried to rob the restaurant. In a confrontation, police opened fire and killed one of the three robbery suspects, he said. The suspects have not been identified by police. No other officers were wounded, police said. “Unfortunately, here we are again, feeding into the collective hurt that we’ve had in the North Texas region over the last few years,” Fitzgerald said in a press conference at about 4:30 a.m.
