This was just posted by a relative of Officer Nick Smarr. I received a screen shot of the facebook post:
“At this time I want to tell you about one of the bravest men that I have ever heard of. My nephew Nick Smarr. Nick received the domestic call around 9:30am and immediately went to the location.

He immediately recognized the suspect and radioed it in. At that time the suspect fled out the back door and Nick pursued through the house. As Nick came out the back door the suspect fired several shots critically wounding officer Smith, Nick returned fire while he was also shot and mortally wounded. After firing a half dozen rounds at the suspect, Nick ran to his fellow officer and BEST friend, he rolled him from his face down position and performed CPR until he could no longer continue. When other officers arrived at the scene, Nick Smarr was lying across his fallen comrade and best friend where he succumbed to his injuries.
At this time (since our last update) officer Smith is in a coma in seriously critical condition.
Please pray for our friends and family during this difficult time. We have been assured by the Americus Police Department that they and the some 300 law enforcement officer involved in the man hunt will not....”
That is all I got from the screen shot, but I thought you all should hear the story.
Prayers up.
