Thursday afternoon, I was driving east on US 24 in Wabash Indiana. I came on the scene of the shooting just minutes after it happened. An off duty Indiana State Trooper stopped to assist what he thought was a disabled motorist, as he aproached the Pontiac Aztec, the driver, a 21 year old from Michigan, shot him with a shotgun, then reloaded and shot himself.
The trooper had a wife, 7 year old daughter, and 4 year old twin boys.
He managed to draw his sidearm. When I saw him he was laying on his back, arms out, I didn't know he was a trooper or that it was a shooting when I drove by.

My only child is a cop...when you read something like this it causes me to tear up and ask God again please, don't let something like this happen to my little boy.
I hate it when ppl attack cops for doing their jobs. Nobody wants to get a ticket or go to jail for drunk driving or w/e. But if you don't break the law you have nothing to worry about.
It's sad that the ppl who are fueling this anti-gun legislation are the ones who probably did not get their guns the legal way.

I still stop to offer assistence to people on the road, especially women, this is a good example of why you approach everyone as if they are armed and wanted.
