Metro police officer dies from injuries after early-morning crash

May. 07, 2009
Copyright © Las Vegas Review-Journal

By LAWRENCE MOWER and MAGGIE LILLIS
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

A Las Vegas police officer was struck and killed by a suspected drunken driver while responding to a domestic violence call in the southwest valley early this morning.

The officer, 28-year-old James Manor, was trapped in his patrol car for several minutes before emergency responders were able to extricate him and take him to University Medical Center.

The Clark High School graduate who was 13 days shy of marking his second year with the department was pronounced dead not long after arriving at the hospital, Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie said.

“Today is a dark day for the Metro police family,” Gillespie said.

Police identified the suspect as 45-year-old Calvin Darling, who has no criminal history.

Police said Darling was trying to make a left turn onto Ravenwood Drive from westbound Flamingo Road, near Rainbow Boulevard, in a pickup at 12:46 a.m. He turned in front of Manor and a second patrol car that were heading east on Flamingo, police said.

Manor tried to avoid the truck but couldn’t and the two vehicles collided, Gillespie said. The officer in the second patrol car reported the incident.

Gillespie said investigators determined Darling was drunk through an interview and blood tests. Darling was taken to UMC with non-life threatening injuries and is expected to be booked into the Clark County Detention Center on charges of felony driving under the influence resulting in death and failing to yield to an emergency vehicle.

“This shows you how quickly tragedy can strike,” Gillespie said. “Many times getting to the call is just as dangerous as handling the call.”

A plain-clothes Chicago police officer died this afternoon after being shot in the head and critically wounded early this morning in the West Englewood neighborhood on the South Side, authorities said.

Alejandro "Alex" Valadez, 27, died about 2:40 p.m., police Supt. Jody Weis said.

Valadez is the third officer killed in the line-of-duty in the past 12 months. Officer Nathaniel Taylor, 39, a 14-year veteran, was shot and killed in September while trying to execute a search warrant against a suspected narcotics dealer. Officer Richard Francis, 60, was fatally shot in July during a struggle with a woman causing a disruption on a bus.

Standing outside of Stroger Hospital, Weis confirmed that Valadez had died. He said Valadez had been on life support and his family had donated his organs. Weis called Valadez, a "great officer'' who had distinguished himself in his three-year career.


Valadez's shooting occurred about 12:30 a.m. in the 6000 block of South Hermitage Avenue as the three-year veteran and his partner were investigating a report of shots fired, Weis said at a news conference earlier today after the shooting.

In addition to a head wound, Valadez was wounded in the leg, Weis said.

Valadez was taken to Stroger Hospital in critical condition and died there later.

Valadez joined the Chicago Police Department in December 2005 and was most recently assigned to the Englewood District, police said.

Valadez earned a department commendation and 22 honorable mentions.

Modesto officer comatose for 7 years dies

The Associated Press

Last Modified: Friday, Jul. 24, 2009 - 12:47 pm

MODESTO, Calif. –– A Modesto police officer has died, seven years after he fell into a coma when an assault suspect broadsided his car during a chase.

Police officials say Sgt. Steve May's death Thursday makes him the second officer to die in the line of duty in the department's 118-year history. Both officers died in vehicle chases.

The 53-year-old May never regained consciousness after the 2002 accident that also claimed the life of the 18-year-old suspect. Joshua Corralejo had been wanted for assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer at the time of the chase.

May suffered a fractured skull and multiple internal injuries and broken bones.

Besides his wife, Diana, May is survived by two adult children, 29-year-old Corrine and 26-year-old Michael.

2 September 2008.

Skagit County Deputy Anne Jackson.

Sgt. Robert Goetz with the Everett Police Department said the incident began when the deputy responded to a disturbance call regarding an unwanted, possibly armed guest at a home in the 19800 block of Silver Creek Drive in Alger, Wash. at 2:19 p.m.

While investigating the shooting, the deputy was led to a home in the 19300 block of Bridle Place. At 4:15 p.m., the sheriff's office learned the deputy had come under fire.

When the deputy later failed to respond to radio calls from sheriff dispatchers, other deputies went to home and found her shot to death. Another person was also found shot to death in the home.

"Skagit County has suffered a terrible tragedy today," Skagit County Chief Deputy Will Reichardt said at a news conference Tuesday night. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of all of the victims."

Officials identified the slain deputy as 40-year-old Anne Jackson. She joined the sheriff's office in 2002 as an animal control officer and became a deputy in 2005.

At about the same Jackson was found dead, deputies learned the driver of a motorcycle had been shot at a nearby Shell gas station. He was taken to United General Hospital in Sedro-Woolley and was expected to survive.

Minutes later, a Washington state trooper in the area spotted the suspected gunman's car and chased him south on Interstate 5. Officials said the man was shooting wildly from his vehicle while speeding down the interstate at more than 90 mph.

A bullet grazed the arm of Trooper Troy Giddings while he was trying to position himself in front of the fleeing gunman in an attempt to stop him. The 42-year-old trooper drove himself to United General Hospital where he was treated and released.

An innocent motorist caught in the gunfire was killed near milepost 238.

The chase finally ended near Mount Vernon when the suspected gunman exited the interstate, pulled into a police station where he was taken into custody about 4:30 p.m.

At 5 p.m. the owner of a home in the 19500 block of Silver Creek Road –– the street to which Jackson had initially responded –– returned from work and found two construction workers shot to death. Another person was found shot to death on a street in the vicinity, but the exact location was not known.

Missouri Trooper Struck, Killed Along Interstate 44
By George Sells FOX2now.com
December 25, 2009

EUREKA, MO (KTVI-FOX2now.com) - Members of the Missouri Highway Patrol are in mourning after a Christmas day accident on Interstate 44 near Eureka which left a trooper dead. Officials say Cpl. Dennis Engelhard had stopped to assist Eureka Police after an accident there about 9:30 Christmas morning.

Engelhard waited with the people involved in the original crash for a tow truck. After about forty minutes, he got out of his car. It was just about the time an oncoming S-U-V lost control.

"He exited his vehicle and walked to the rear of his vehicle where he was struck by an SUV," MSHP Sergeant Jeff Wilson told reporters near the scene.

Wilson would not elaborate on why troopers believe the vehicle lost control, only saying, "any time you have conditions like this it always plays a role," making reference to the snow that was falling at the time of the crash.

Wilson wouldn't say if the driver of the SUV is likely to face charges, only acknowledging that troopers are still investigating the wreck. He did imply that the vehicle was out of control when it hit Cpl. Engelhard.

"I know after Cpl Engelhard was struck the SUV then went off into an embankment," he said.

Engelhard was 49 years old and single. His family lives in the Kansas City area. He had been a trooper for ten years. Officials say his service began in the Franklin County area. He was later promoted to corporal and moved to St. Louis County.

Sgt. Al Nothum worked with him for several years.

"He was a very quiet man," Nothum said. "He didn't say much at all. I worked with him for several years out in Franklin County. He just showed up for work, did his job and took a lot of drunk drivers off the road."

Nothum says the Christmas incident is a reminder that people need to take extra precautions when passing emergency vehicles and others pulled over to the side of a highway.

"If you can see those lights a long way away that's when you slow down. That's when you start paying attention and really slowing your speed down and being ready for anything like hydroplaning on water or ice or snow. Don't wait until you get up right behind those lights. This has happened too many times."

Engelhard's family was said to be on the way to the St. Louis area. Funeral arrangements are still pending.

Guntersville Alabama Police officer shot in the spine in 1993 dies.



Former Guntersville Police Officer Tommy Bishop, who was shot while answering a domestic disturbance call in 1993, died Friday morning at Marshall Medical Center North.

An officer at Guntersville some 5 years, the Arab resident previously worked with the Marshall County Sheriff's Department.

Cecil Eugene Looney, now 43, who had also shot his wife at the time of the incident, shot Bishop in the spine, just below his protective vest, paralyzing him below the waist. His son, Arab City Councilman Brian Bishop, spoke just last month at a parole hearing for Looney before the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles.

Bishop said his father had suffered multiple medical problems as a result of the shooting and went to UAB for treatment at least once a month since the incident. Bedridden for several years, Bishop spent the last year of his life in an Albertville nursing home.

Brian Bishop said Friday his father's death "is a bitter pill to swallow." Looney, originally sentenced to 70 years in prison for shooting Bishop and another 10 years for shooting his wife, was denied parole. The parole board said he won't be eligible for parole consideration again until December 2014.

"On January 29, Alexandria Police officer, Patrick Callaghan, was killed in a snowmobile accident. Patrick was off-duty at the time. This is a great loss for the Callaghan family, the Alexandria Police Department, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the city of Alexandria, which is the community Patrick served in.
