Two Officers Shot In California: 1 Dead, Another Not To Survive

Police officers, a job that is always dangerous, had two officers shot in Fresno, CA. One officer was fatally wounded and another officer is not expected to survive.
From Fox News: A gunman opened fire Thursday on authorities who tried to serve search warrants at his mobile home in Central California, killing a sheriff's detective and critically wounding a police officer before barricading himself in the residence during a raging gunbattle that also left him dead...We lost a good deputy sheriff today," Mims said.
Police didn't immediately release the names of the two deputies and officer. But Reedley City Manager Rocky Rogers said the wounded officer, who he identified as Javier Bejar, was on life support and not expected to recover.
Rogers said Bejar, who had two years on the police force, was being kept alive so that his family can pay their last respects.
"He had a very commanding presence about him, being a former U.S. Marine," Rogers said.

Police officers have a tough job to do, no matter what the call is and where they go. Any day can be their last shift because of a thug may want to take them out.
RIP to the officer and our prayers are with the officer and his family who will not make it. And may the law enforcement officers in the Fresno, CA area find comfort.
