Death
of Glendale Police Officer Shot Friday Night on 10/28
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.
