But watch the video at the story link, too, as it gives more of the interview and more info.
So the officer was involved in a shooting (fatal) in June, too.
My son and I were one block over when this all went down, outside of my mom's house. We heard the homeowner getting shot. Thought it was firecrackers as they have been ongoing in the neighbourhood before and after Independence Day. And we saw the rush of cop cars going West on Montview to the scene.
Heartbreaking to listen to the stepson recount what happened. Makes me angry that they pushed the son away as he was caressing his stepdad's face.
This man, Richard "Gary" Black needs some more medals in addition to the ones he received for her service in Vietnam. He did the community a HUGE favour.
Not trying to bash cops. I know they have a very hard job in these times, but the cop goofed up big time here.
They have identified the intruder. I don't have his pic, but my mom said they showed him on the TV news. It won't come as a shock.
