It’s always a good idea to add a comment to specifiy the city and state for those of us who have never heard of Saraland before.

Prayers for the officer.

Here is a little more information on the shooter. This Blake Richardson sounds like a first class creep.

It is so sad that Officer Tucker and her family have to go through this.

I've been to Saraland, Oregon, or was it, Wyoming. Anyway, I've been to Saraland, Illinois.

That said, prayers up! (Wherever it is)

Alabama.

I never alter the title but I guess I should have added it. Either way, it’s very sad that an officer and her family have to go through this.

Adding a state in parenthesis after the original title is both acceptable and good practice here. Immediately adding the state to the tags is a good idea, too.

Officer Tucker will not likely be doing much policing after this.

Head wounds take years to heal if ever.

Saraland shooter wrote about wanting to kill cops on Facebook

Public records indicate the family spends a great deal of time in Washington County. The Sheriff of Washington County, Richard Stringer, told FOX10 News he has personally responded to a domestic dispute involving Richardson, just this past summer, where Stringer said Richardson was threatening other deputies and family members.

Sheriff Stringer said his office has responded to two domestic calls regarding Richardson this year.

Saraland Police said they have responded to the home on Martha Alleyn Drive several times in the past for domestic disputes going on there.

According to the Mobile County District Attorney, Richardson has been arrested before for public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance, however, FOX10 News has not yet been able to find any court documents regarding those past arrests.

God Bless and be with Officer Tucker and her family!

I’m so sick and tired of the violence against our police in this nation.

Need to change the laws to be able to round up the entire family of people who try to kill law enforcement.
