Dudleys Diary

Yesterday afternoon, a concerned citizen saw two people who had broken into his neighbors house. He followed the Cadillac the perpetrators were driving and called 911 on his cell phone. He followed them into town where a local police officer and a constable from a neighboring county joined in the chase. They chased the perps through town on the main highway and the bad guys ran off off the road and hit a tree. They jumped out of the car as did the police. The city police officer caught one of the bad guys and the fight was on. The bad guy was able to get the officers gun away from him and hit him with it in the head several times. The back up officer fired multiple rounds at the bad guy after he was warned and refused to drop the gun and give it up. He fell dead in the street. The other bad guy ran off and was apprehended a short distance away by a sheriffs deputy. A second round of shots may have been fired but no one else was hit and the second bad guy was arrested without further incident. The officer was care flighted to a local hospital. Dudley hopes he is going to recover fully. This happened on the street that Dudleys in laws live on about a block or two from their house. They don't normally have running gun battles in the street, it is normally a quiet little town. That sounds a lot more like the Metro area that Dudley resides in.
