Trooper killed in Fiery I-40 crash
Jul 27/2000
A fiery crash along Interstate 40 killed a Tennessee state trooper Wednesday morning and the resulting gridlock sparked two later accidents, one in which an Arkansas woman was killed and four others were injured.
Patrolman Lynn M. Ross, 40, of Pinson, died when a tractor-trailer plowed into his vehicle in a construction zone. Ross' cruiser burst into flames and flipped onto its top in the grassy median.
John Justice, a trucker who saw the accident, said he was eastbound on I-40 around 9 a.m. when the tractor-trailer in front of him slammed on its brakes. He had been behind the truck for a mile or two, he said.
"A ball of fire was in front of the truck almost immediately," Justice said. "The truck was weaving back and forth between lanes and at one time he was completely off the road."
Police later said the preliminary investigation showed that Clifford Engum of Caldwell, Idaho, used his brakes, but not before striking Ross' vehicle.
After hitting the trooper's vehicle, Engum's truck careened across the median and into the westbound lane. The truck hit a 1997 Chevrolet Blazer driven by Margaret Jordan, a retired Somerville police chief. She was transported to Jackson-Madison General Hospital for injuries and later released.
Ross was closing down the right-hand eastbound lane to allow Tennessee Department of Transportation employees to work on the shoulder when his car was struck, said Tennessee Department of Safety spokesman Anthony Kimbrough. The Department of Safety oversees the Highway Patrol.
Ross and another trooper were parked at the site, with their blue lights on, to warn motorists and to protect the crew from oncoming traffic, the spokesman said. Traffic was narrowed to one lane and the construction crew could be clearly seen for at least a mile.
"The other trooper working in the patrol unit ahead of Ross saw the flash of the explosion in his mirror," spokesman Kimbrough said. "He immediately turned to render aid, and only then realized it was the other patrol car on fire."
In the crash that killed the trooper, the tractor-trailer skidded 100 feet across both lanes and up an embankment before settling in trees and bushes. One set of the truck's wheels was detached and settled next to the Blazer.
All lanes were closed for about two hours after the accident to allow authorities to investigate the accident. Three lanes were reopened later but one eastbound lane remained closed. Traffic was backed up 7 to 8 miles and was re-routed through Jackson.
The accident occurred near the 86-mile marker near Pringles Park in a 13-mile stretch of construction. Notices of the construction area were posted beginning at mile marker 74, Kimbrough said.
Engum, who works for ECK Miller Transportation Corp. based in Rockport, Ind., was taken to the hospital for shock, witnesses said. He was hauling computers from Long Beach, Calif. to LaVergne. He left Memphis after 7 a.m. to complete the final leg of his route, police said.
Police interviewed Engum, took his statement and released him Wednesday afternoon. No charges were filed or citations were issued.
Memphis attorney Cecil McWhirter said he sent investigator Janelle Jones to the scene when he was notified by the company of the crash.
"I won't know much until I talk to her," McWhirter said.
Jackson attorney Mark Donahoe accompanied Engum to THP headquarters in Jackson for questioning by authorities. The trucker left without comment and Donahoe wouldn't discuss what happened.
An accident reconstruction team will investigate the accident and report its findings to the district attorney.
Authorities said they did not want to speculate on the cause of the accident or Ross' death and could not estimate when the investigation would be complete.
"We will take as much time as we need, but not take longer than we need," Kimbrough said.
Ross had been a trooper for almost five years. He was first assigned to Perry County in September 1995 and transferred to the Jackson district in September 1998.
A fund was set up at the Bank of Jackson late Wednesday for Ross' family, said Brad Hancock, the bank's president. Anyone wishing to donate can call the bank, located at 558 Carriage House Drive, at 660-8000.

Officer Hetrick died at the scene. He had been with the agency for four years and is survived by his wife and three children.

Sheriff Warren was killed when his cruiser was struck head-on by a tractor trailer while he was on routine patrol. He was travelling southbound on State Route 142 when the truck crossed the center line, striking his cruiser. Sheriff Warren died at the scene. He had been with the agency for 23 years and served as sheriff for over 17 years.

Corporal Catoe was killed after being involved in an automobile accident. Corporal Catoe's cruiser, a 1994 Ford Taurus, broadsided a truck which had entered an intersection after running a stop sign. He was transported to a local hospital where he died approximately 30 minutes later. Corporal Catoe's canine was also injured in the accident. Corporal Catoe had been with the agency for one year and had been in law enforcement for eight years. He is survived by his son, parents, and brother.

Deputy Gibson was shot and killed during a 13-hour standoff with burglary suspect. A police canine had tracked the suspect from a business to the suspect's home. When other officers arrived the suspect brandished a shotgun and threatened to shoot officers. During the ensuing standoff the officers began to prepare for a tactical entry. Deputy Gibson was approximately 40 feet away from the residence, preparing to fire tear gas canister, when the suspect opened fire, striking him in the head. The suspect was arrested approximately six hours later while attempting to escape.

I just returned home from my training in Quantico, VA., and I'm am very shocked, angered, and saddened to announce the murder of an off duty, 21 year old, Detroit Police Officer. Having just visited the Law Enforcement Memorial for the first time, and sketched the name of a friend of mine I grew up with, this really bothers me. Shynelle Mason, 21, was gunned down at a gas station in Detroit after a male subject recognized her as the officer who processed him during an arrest. He confronted the officer, an argument ensued, and according to witnesses, he gunned her down. She apparently never had a chance to go for her weapon. She had just 2 years on the force. The Detroit Police are in an all out manhunt at this hour with the Police Chopper in the air, as well. The subject's car has been found abandoned, however, police know who they are looking for.

Police Dog Takes Bullet, Dies
MIAMI - A suspected carjacker has shot and killed Atlas, a Miami police dog, just three months after the animal joined the canine unit, police say.
The 2-1/2-year-old Belgian Malinois was chasing the suspect through a Miami schoolyard late on Saturday when the man opened fire, striking the golden-haired dog in the stomach, police said Monday.
Another bullet nearly struck Atlas' handler, police officer Wayne Cooper. Atlas died early on Sunday.
Police described Cooper as "distraught."
A 22-year-old man was charged with killing a police dog, attempted murder of a police officer, armed carjacking, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and violently resisting arrest.
Killing a Florida police dog carries a maximum five-year prison term, but "that's the least of (the suspect's) worries," police spokesman Delrish Moss said.

S.I. COP KILLED IN CHASE
A Staten Island cop who crashed his car into a telephone pole while chasing down a stolen motorcycle died on 07-17-00- after a desperate, three-hour battle to save his life.
Doctors revived Officer John Kelly, 31, three times before he succumbed to massive injuries, surrounded by family - including his police-officer wife and brothers.
"They kept him alive long enough so his mother could be here before he died," Mayor Giuliani said after visiting heartbroken relatives at St. Vincent's Hospital on Staten Island.
The father of two "died a hero," Police Commissioner Howard Safir said. "He was doing what he was trained to do and what he loved to do."
The eight-year veteran, a member of the Auto Crime Division, was on patrol in an unmarked black Chevy Lumina when he spotted a motorcyclist driving erratically.
Kelly, who was working alone, ran a license plate check on the black Suzuki bike and when it came back stolen, he tried to get the driver to pull over.
During the brief high-speed chase that ensued, Kelly lost control of his car and crashed into a utility pole on Forest and Gulf avenues in the Mariner's Harbor section.
Emergency workers who responded found the car "folded in half" on the driver's side, its siren blaring and lights flashing, police said.
Kelly went into cardiac arrest at the accident scene. He was rushed to St. Vincent's, where shaken cops and weeping relatives quickly converged.
For three hours, doctors fought a losing battle against his massive internal injuries. He was pronounced dead at 4:45 p.m., the second cop to die in the line of duty this year.
Kelly's wife, Patricia Duffy, is an officer at Staten Island's 120th Precinct. They have two children, 2-year-old Sean and 9-month-old Christopher.
Kelly's three brothers are also cops: Danny is a sergeant in Manhattan's 1st Precinct, Jimmy is a detective with Staten Island narcotics and Tommy works for the Harbor Unit.
Patricia has two brothers in the NYPD; Brian Duffy works in the 123rd Precinct and John is assigned to the 120th Precinct. A sister is a retired cop and another brother is a firefighter.
"This family has served the city of New York and now, unfortunately, has been called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice for the people of the city of New York," Giuliani said.
The NYPD had bestowed four medals for excellent police service on Kelly during the course of his career.
Investigators were hunting for the driver of the stolen Suzuki last night. Safir said he expected the man would be charged with vehicular homicide if caught.

More shots were fired approximately 200 yards from Deputy Evans' location and the suspect vehicle exited the roadway, striking the cruiser at 85 mph. As Deputy Evans and his partner tried to move out of the way his cruiser struck him, pinning him underneath. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect and another occupant of the vehicle received minor injuries in the accident and were arrested the scene. The driver was charged with capital murder and aggravated assault of a police officer. Deputy Evans had been in law enforcement for seven years and with the agency for three years. He is survived by his wife and two young children.

Deputy Britton was killed in a single car accident while responding to an assistance call. Deputy Britton was responding on State Route 62 when the cruiser left the roadway and struck a tree. Deputy Britton had been with the department for two years and is survived by his wife and two children.

Lonely death for ambushed officer
22jul00
A POLICE officer was left to die alone in the darkness after he was ambushed while attending a siege at an isolated property outside Rockhampton on Thursday night.
Senior Constable Norman James Watt, 33, was fatally shot by a gunman hiding in bushes in the front yard of the Alton Downs property.
Officers were forced to abandon their fallen colleague where he lay bleeding from a gunshot wound which had pierced an artery in his groin. He died soon after.
It was three hours before police could reach Constable Watt, after having commandeered a heavily armoured vehicle from Rockhampton jail.
The gunman, believed to be a former RAAF serviceman, barricaded himself inside the house for seven hours before surrendering shortly after 5am as police from the Special Emergency Response Team arrived from Brisbane.
Constable Watt, a Rockhampton dog squad officer, was shot at point-blank range with a .303 rifle as he stood only metres away from a colleague at the front of the 20ha property.
Police had been responding to a domestic dispute at the property, during which shots had been fired, and had been setting up a cordon and entering into negotiations just after 9.30pm when Constable Watt was ambushed.
It is believed the gunman had fired several shots at a male friend after an argument erupted at the house earlier on Thursday night.
Queensland Police Commissioner Jim O'Sullivan said yesterday officers attending the siege had all been wearing bulletproof vests and had followed procedure, but had been unaware the man had left the house.
"They carried out their duties in my view very professionally," Mr O'Sullivan said. "Unfortunately the officer received injuries to the extent that he died soon after being shot. Once again we have seen one of our fine young officers murdered.
A 58-year-old man is expected to be charged with Constable Watt's murder at a special court hearing today.
