Anyone know the officer or some details of his condition?

Only what is on the news.  His name is Thomas Wagstaff, a 15 year veteran. From the pictures yesterday, it looks like he was in his car when wounded.  (The patrol car was pictured wedged between a Coke Van and a Tree). If that is the case, I really hope the glass slowed velocities way down.  The KC news is still reporting he is in Critical condition, so not out of the woods.

Hopefully it wasnt a fellow brother..Almost every officer ive ever shot with really sucked for the profession they are in. To some guys its just the hammer that goes with their job. A lot of depts only have their guys shoot on qual day per guidelines. Most of the time they shoot its on a flat concrete range at paper targets to. Ive seen very few who take situational awareness seriously. I really hope he makes a full recovery and those bastards go down hard!!
