Executing a search warrant can be a dangerous task for a law enforcement officer. Suspects often do not want to be brought in by officers and will put up a fight.
Many recent officer injuries have happened during the execution of warrants. In Birmingham, multiple officers were injured while executing a warrant for a double homicide.
Out Walking the Dog
It all began with a argument between the victims who were walking a dog and the suspect. The dog seemed to be a part of the argument. Authorities believe that the female victim may have been in a relationship with the suspect.
Witnesses said the suspect fled the area prior to officers arriving.
The male victim died on the sidewalk and was a well-known in the area transient. The female victim was in the middle of the street.
She had been shot in the head. Paramedics took her to UAB Hospital, and was pronounced dead.
According to Al.com, no one knows if the dog has been located or not. Witnesses described the shooter as a man wearing a red shirt and overalls.
Executing a Warrant
Officers searched the area and looked for more evidence like video surveillance. Witnesses and a little leg work, helped them find the apartment of the presumed shooter.
Birmingham officers went to a suspect's home over the weekend, intending to serve him with a search warrant near Southside Park.
According to Sgt. Rod Mauldin, SWAT went into the building to serve the warrant to the suspects apartment on the third-floor.
“Upon making entry, they were immediately met by gunfire,’' Mauldin said. The officers fired back and struck the suspect. The whole thing lasted about 20 minutes.
Officer Injuries
Four officers were hurt in the exchange. Two were shot and the other two had grazes. All of the officers were taken to UAB Hospital's emergency room for treatment.
According to Mauldin, two were shot in "lower extremities." Those two were released the same day. The officers who were grazed received treatment onsite from Birmingham Fire and Rescue Services.
This was the cities fifth homicide in two days. Mauldin urged residents to call them "before these things escalate" so they can help.
Always There
It is important for citizens to know that officers are there to help instead of there to clean up the mess afterwards.
Police officers can help to deescalate situations so it does not need to lead to death or injury.
These people who resist the Police only have themselves to blame for the final results. Our idiot President met today with Floyd's family. I wonder if he will meet any families of fallen Officers?? I really doubt it. Scumbag of a human he is.
Yes, he is a scumbag. He must have been spoiled as a child and need had to do any hard lifting even with his mind. He is in the pockets of the Chinese. Maybe he should go and live there.
Why do "comments" need to be "moderation??" Are you a Liberal site?? Sure looks like you are.
Been in some close calls when I was cop. Glad I made it without being shot. Now 70 and not to sure about being safe anywhere.
God Bless our men in BLUE. I am glad to learn that none were killed and are able to see their families.
Yes the police can deescalate the situation. all they have to do is leave immediately after the first threat.
re CAPCHA does not work. Fix it or get rid of it.
Being a cop in the USA may be the most dangerous and thankless job in the world today. The BLM baloney is ruining the country.
The rank and file people on the street appreciate the police, the ones that dont are doing something illegal, thats why the dc dems dont like them
from What I have seen andrRead The Democrats Do not Like The police They Like The criminals They Pay Their Bail money to get them Back into the Cities to Continue Tearing The stores Down and stealing every thing they can drag out the Broken windows And many Set the cities On fire They have Even burned down A court House These people have Never been taught to love Your country only Taught to steal every thing you can .poor Parenting is a big problem and Democrats take Advantage of them VP. Harris has Paid Bail money and Told all Democrats To bail the riotors Out of Jail That's What people put In our White House
Maybe there ought to be a list of people and addresses who think the police should be disbanded or not be paid what they are worth. There should be a “drive very slowly” when these anti police need help don’t you think? Pelosi comes to mind.
How many of these BLM and ANTIFA and other groups that are anti-police do you think have the guts to walk up to a homicide suspects home to serve a warrant? None would be my answer. Brave Police Officers across our nation do this on a daily basis. God Bless and watch over my Brothers and Sisters as they do their jobs. I am now over 70 and was also a Police office for almost 15 years before I was badly injured in the line of duty and forced to retire. It's a tough but rewarding profession. We very seldom get any positive feedback from the public but "We Know" what we do and have done and it makes us proud.
