Officials on Sunday identified the Provo police officer who was killed while trying to apprehend a fugitive in Orem. Joseph Shinners, 29, was shot in the line of duty just before 10 p.m. near the Bed Bath and Beyond in Orem located at 50 W. University Parkway. Shinners was transported to Utah Valley Hospital in critical condition but died from his injuries just before midnight, according to Rich Ferguson, Provo chief of police. Shinners, a Boston area native, was a 3-year veteran to the department and a member of the SWAT team. He was also a husband and a father to a "little boy," Ferguson said.

We all know what question to ask first regarding this particular fugitive.
“We all know what question to ask first regarding this particular fugitive.”
Ummm...Where is he?
Curious as to why they would put little boy in quotes.
“During a press conference Sunday, Ferguson gave Shinners a posthumous promotion”
I dearly hope this will increase what his widow receives. It is only right.
Given all the details so far, I wonder why the name of the person who did the shooting and is apprehended is not being released? In Orem, UT of all places?

140 Officers killed last year. We’re off to a sad start again for 2019. Wisconsin lost an off-duty Firefighter on New Years Eve when he stopped to help a woman who had spun out in the snow we had that evening. He was hit by another driver. :(
We were driving home (9pm-ish) and going West, while the entire Beltline (State Highway) going East was backed up for many, many miles. :(
OK,fair point.So we'll make it the *second* question.
Not again! I can’t stand it. Lord, have mercy on all our law enforcement officers. St. Michael the Archangel, defend them in the battle. Amen.
Because they are so pc they don’t want to assume his gender?
Rest in peace hero. Thank you for your service.
Ping.

Again people not willing to tell us the whole story. Why?

cild has not yet self-identified by gender.
Probably a doubly sacred cow-- illegal alien PLUS a person of color.
““We all know what question to ask first regarding this particular fugitive.”

He was shot and taken to the hospital - in stable condition. Police Chief said he was not going to identify him (yesterday) because it “wasn’t about him”.
Suspect is a 40 year old homeless male.
