UPDATE: 36-year-old Jeremy Henwood, a four-year veteran of the San Diego Police Department, died Sunday, a day after being shot while sitting in his patrol car at a San Diego intersection ,reports San Diego’s police chief Chief William Lansdowne …

A man with a shotgun critically wounded a San Diego police officer in an apparent unprovoked attack,Saturday evening ,in City Heights by a suspect who may have committed another shooting earlier in the day, report San Diego police.(SOURCE)

The surprise shotgun attack happened ,according to reports in the media, 5:30 p.m. in San Diego’s City Heights area on the eastern part of the city. The Police officer stopped at a red light and pulled up to a black Audi that was involved in a shooting incident at an “In-N-Out” burger store about two hours earlier,14 miles away, in the El Cajon area.(ABC)

Local police had chased the vehicle on the freeway, however, as the speed of the fleeing car reached above 100 mph, the chase was abandoned and the suspect was left to flee, and continue his menacing reign of crime on the unsuspecting public.

..maybe they would have been better off just shooting this idiot???

The death of Uncle Ben Parker could have been prevented before it happened by Spiderman...but he let the suspect go...just like the SDPD did in this case...

What happened next was like a scene from “Spiderman” when Peter Parker allowed a robber to flee, when he could have easily stopped him, and that same robber went on to kill his Uncle Ben,who was raising him, and waiting to pick him up from the “library”.(Source)

Black Audi...like the one used in the deadly SDPD shotgun attack

Black Audi...like the one used in the deadly SDPD shotgun attack

That same suspect who got away from the cops, rolled up on the unsuspecting officer in that black Audi, and aimed his shotgun out the window of his car, and shot the officer in the head!!!

..How cruel can you be???The cop was doing nothing???...and we need all the cops in San Diego we can get.They do  not get paid at the level of their counterparts in other large cities, and they definitely do not get compensated for this level of heinous behavior!!!

“As far as we know, it was totally unprovoked,” Police Capt. Jim Collins said in a statement to the media.

“He was not attempting to stop the suspect vehicle. He had no idea that was the suspect vehicle.”

He was basically ambushed, and shot from behind by a coward…

Luckily for the community at large,…The cold-blooded shooting of the officer led police to track down the vehicle to a nearby apartment, a gun battle ensued and one suspect was fatally shot.(Technorati)

…thank God for that!!!

The wounded officer was taken to a nearby hospital,where he is fighting for his life, but it is unclear what his condition is.

Police shot and  killed one of the gunmen while  another suspect exchanged fire with police before barricaded himself in a nearby apartment complex, reminiscent of the deadly gun battle in Skyline at the Meadowbrook apartments, that took the life of respected 17 year veteran SDPD officer  Christopher Wilson in October, of 2010.

British soul singer Amy Winehouse,27, was found dead in her apartment,from a suspected drug overdose.Paramedics discovered her lifeless body at her north London home yesterday at around 4pm, and there was nothing that they could do to bring her back to us.(NPR)

Amy Winehouse shot to international fame in 2006 behind her hit recording “Rehab”on the Back To Black album,but her career has been overshadowed by her erratic behavior due to her illicit drug abuse, and addiction to heroin and crack cocaine.(Telegraph)

In the music industry, Amy was considered to be a soul prodigy,with foretold promise, that will never be realized.(Video)

Amy was born on Sept. 14, 1983,…and she has died much to soon. She was just beginning her life, but her addiction to drugs ultimately silenced her forever.

There is nothing cool about dying from a drug overdose…(Source)

Conventional wisdom in these cases,usually tends to say that if the jury comes back and renders their verdict as quickly as this jury has,chances are she has been found guilty…but in this case, she has been found to be…
NOT GUILTY OF MURDER.

Sacramento mom of three children…formerly four children, has been arrested on suspicion of burning her 6-week old baby in a microwave oven,cooking the child to death!(CBS Crimesiders)

(China Arnold also cooked her baby to death in a microwave oven!!!)

After a three-month investigation, Sacramento police announced Wednesday that the mom, Ka Ying, was arrested Tuesday morning at her home and charged with homicide. 

 6-week-old Mirabelle Thao-Lo, died of “extensive second, third and fourth-degree thermal injuries,” …in the microwave oven,at the hands of her mother,on March 17 of this year.(USA Today)

The lie that murdering mom Ka Yang told investigators was that she was holding her daughter while sitting at her computer desk when she suffered a seizure and blacked out.(CNN)

When Yang woke up Mirabel wasn’t breathing, she claimed.

When police arrived, there was “evidence” located in the microwave that initially led them to believe it might have been related to her death.
