We Lost An Officer Today

Officer Nick Erfle, 33, died in the line of duty. He was killed while trying to arrest a man on the street.

While he was being taken into custody, the suspect drew a gun and fired at Officer Erfle, and then at his partner. Erfle was shot in the head. The suspect then took off, hijacking a car and taking the driver hostage.

Erfle was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to a nearby hospital.

An hour later, the suspect's car was boxed in by three unmarked police vehicles. Still holding a gun to the hostage's head, the bastard was shot through the window and killed.

We lost another good guy. He leaves behind a wife and two sons.
