The police officer shot last night has been identified as 31 year old Mike Madland. He has been on the force for 3 years. He is married and has children. While obviously his injuries are very serious, it could have been deadly because he was also shot in the chest, but his bullet proof vest stopped the bullet.
Officer Madland was shot in the leg, severing an artery and has undergone many surgeries. He probably lost a lot of blood at the scene because the femoral artery is a big artery and you can bleed out within minutes.
The thug shooter was killed by officer Madland's partner with 2 shots to the head. The thug's name is Damon Beal. His partner was arrested on scene and his name is Marvin Lee Wilson. Not surprisingly, both thugs have criminal records. Well, at least the community is safe from one thug from now on.
Here is Sheriff Doug Gillespie's news conference:
Finally, some people are just idiots based on comments in the LVRJ: Good!
The cop most likely lost control and started it.
Just another terrorist hiding behind the badge stirring up trouble.
Good Riddance!
Well thats a risk you take when becoming a police officer and when you chase down some one crazy with a gun don't be suprises. The chance of being killed comes with the job. People are upset but how do you think the family's of the people who the cops shot for no good reasons feel???? Idiots.

I'm the cousin of this so called thug, Damon Beal and niece of Marvin Wilson. And i have a Question to who ever wrote this article are you calling them "thugs" because they are Black or because they made bad choices in life? Which I know both males very well and neither were bad people in life just made bad choices at the moment which doesn't make them thugs at all. So when a guy kills his whole family and then his self does that consider him a thug? and also which makes police officers so perfect to just because they hold a badge to kill people and cover up for each other..my question to the police officers in the backyard at the time, why are there witnesses saying after Damon was shot the officer that shot him stood over him and said this is for you mike and shot him twice in the head after he was already down..now tell me which party was right or wrong sounds to me they are both wrong because a police officer is trained to shoot to disable the suspect til they are no threat anymore now if he was already down and no threat then what was the need to kill him? Why because he shot one of his partners or because of his race? And please believe i heard the whole 16 minutes 911 call from start to finish not knowing it was my cousin and uncle at the time on a police scanner in my living room and knew that before they called a 419 on Damon they said he was in custody and then a short time later called a 419...now how was that when the helicopter officer dispatched to the 911 operater that Damon was in custody then the ground unit officer called in a 419 on him? Also you guys say that Marvin Wilson ran from the officers with Damon and which he never did leave the car after it was pit manuevered and hit the wall? Is it because he was badly beat up and the officers are trying to cover up their tracks on his wounds by saying it was from running away? Now since you know everything and also know they were thugs please answer my questions.... Thank you...
