This happened in my town. Two APD officers were shot, and one female Deputy. She's still recovering in the ICU.

I don't think any answer to this would be the right one, But I'm glad to hear some people still try to assist in time of need, especially when someone else is in danger of getting shot as well.

Good on him! If good people don't step up, bad people will prevail.

It's just too bad the guy didn't commit suicide by cop..

I believe I would have tried to follow the shooter too, at a distance. Didn't matter what car I had.

When something like that happens you have to do something, and it can get really scary. I hope they throw a party for the guy, to reinforce how to live for the young people.

Tough one

As said, tough call on this one. The guy definitely did a courageous thing, but thank God no one stepped out or pulled out in front of him while doing 100...the Lord or luck was with him. The other thought is that Vettes are fast, but bullets are faster...good thing the gunman didn't stop and take him on. Hurrah for our folks in blue that potentially face this kind of thing everyday. Just my .02.
