A Texas police chief is in critical condition after being shot in the head while working security at a bar early Sunday morning, authorities said.
Marlin Police Chief Darrell Allen was working a security job at the Laid Back Lounge II in Temple when he got into an "altercation" with a suspect and was shot while attempting to detain him, according to the Temple Police Department. Allen was "in uniform" but off-duty at the time of the 1:30 a.m. shooting, Temple Police Sgt. Allen Teston told NBC News.
Initially, Allen's head wound was considered "life-threatening," and he was brought to the Baylor Scott and White Hospital in Waco, which is about 40 miles north of Temple. Allen was in critical but stable condition Monday afternoon, according to police.

My guess the it is a one or two man department and the pay sucks.
And the "irony" is that the shooter is an avid "BLack Lives Matter" fan....
Major prayers for the Captain!
Cops...lousy pay, lousy clients!
Malone was dry?

I thought that only trailer park white trash named their kids after their uncles in jail.
Danged Southern Baptist’s - telling everybody what to do about liquor;)
