Death
of Glendale Police Officer Shot Friday Night OCT 28, 2011
Please take
this moment say a prayer for him and his family
By
Ed Sharpe Glendale Daily Planet / KKAT-IPTV - With
material also from AZ CENTRAL &
KTAR and Associated Press
It is with sadness
we report the passing of a Glendale Police officer shot Friday evening.
Officer Brad Jones,
27, passed away from his injuries at about 1 a.m. Saturday, surrounded
by friends, family and other officers, said a tearful Glendale Police
Chief Steven Conrad. (As reported by Amy Wang AZ
AZCENTRAL)
Brad Jones had been with Glendale police
for only about four years and is survived by his wife and two young
children..
"He was a devoted husband and father,
and I would ask you all to keep them in your prayers," Conrad
stated. (As reported by Amy Wang AZ AZCENTRAL)
"He had a deep passion for law
enforcement and helping people. He will be missed by every member of
this department," Conrad said. (As reported by Bob
McClay/KTAR and Associated Press)
Jones was shot Friday at an apartment
complex near 75th and Glendale avenues while accompanying a probation
officer to a meeting with a convict. It was during this meeting that
the probationer pulled out a gun and began firing, striking the police
officer at least once before fleeing in his vehicle, said Brent
Coombs, a Glendale police spokesman. (As reported by
Amy Wang AZ AZCENTRAL)
"This was a young gentlemen, who,
when he made contact with the community, the community would call the
police department and tell them what a good job this officer was
doing. He has citations in his file for those kinds of things. He was
just a bright, young, energetic, great guy," Glendale Police
Sergeant Brent Coombs said. (As reported by Bob McClay/KTAR
and Associated Press)
Jones managed to call for help about
8:30 p.m. and was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in
Phoenix, as other responding officers pursued the suspect in the
stolen police car, which crashed in the 8100 block of West Glendale
Avenue.
The suspect, 20-year-old Ryan Heisler?
He received life-threatening injuries to his upper body but
unfortunately is the one in the encounter that lived. The
suspect remains in critical condition at Good Samaritan hospital.
The scene is closed until 9
p.m. Saturday as detectives continue to investigate the scene, Please
plan your route away from this area so police can accomplish
their investigation.
