Thank you for posting the article you did. The original one announcing his death makes him sound like an idiot who tried to pull a Superman or something. Nothing is further from the truth.
I know they won't fry the @55hole who did it, but I hope they at least toss away the key.
Excerpts from the Wash Post story:

Injured Pentagon Police Officer Dies
"A speeding car headed the wrong way peeled into the Pentagon's south parking lot early one morning last month, and Pentagon police officer James M. Feltis did what he always did: He tried to stop the driver and offer help.
The driver, fleeing Alexandria police in a suspected carjacking, did not slow, police said. Instead, he slammed into Feltis, then crashed the vehicle into a guardrail.
… Last month, colleagues told The Washington Post that Feltis was a reliable, attentive officer who regularly spotted and assisted drivers who found themselves lost in the Pentagon's massive parking lot.
That's probably what Feltis, 41, thought he was dealing with Jan. 11 when he saw a black Cadillac race the wrong direction down a one-way street on Pentagon property, then head toward the traffic booth he was manning, Pentagon Police Chief Richard S. Keevill said last month.
"A lot of time, people get lost [in the parking lot], and he sets them in the right direction. He always pays attention," said Lt. Zelma Owens, who supervised Feltis for 10 years.
… Authorities said the driver of the car had stolen the vehicle from a McDonald's restaurant in Alexandria after striking its owner, a 65-year-old Maryland man.
He then led Alexandria and Fairfax County police and Virginia state troopers on a high-speed chase on Interstate 395 to the Pentagon, where he plowed into Feltis and crashed the Cadillac before being wrestled down by law enforcement officers.
... Feltis suffered a massive head wound, internal bleeding and a fractured leg from the blow."
