Line of Duty Death/Shooting--Orangeburg SC

I forgot to mention, Orangeburg County in SC is like a war zone. In police perspective. Yes, I know, nothing like an ACTUAL war zone.

One deputy shot and killed while on a domestic. The male party went to get clothes to leave and came out with a shotgun and shot him in the neck. The male party's wife ran him over and killed him with the car.

In order to allow those deputies to mourn their loss, Orangeburg County division of the State Highway Patrol (yes, the guys that hit people with their cars) had been covering calls in the area. While on a traffic stop, ANOTHER officer gets shot in the chest (his vest saved his life) and in the arm. He will be ok. He use to work with my agency. He's tough.

Keep us all in your prayers. A tough next few days to follow.
