Local Rookie Officer Killed

This happened just last night a mile or two from my house...& in our local hospital, no less.
 
http://www.nbc10.com/news/5039162/detail.html
 
"Two Newtown Borough police officers had arrested 38-year-old Robert Flor on suspicion of drunken driving and taken him to the hospital for blood and urine testing. As hospital officials were about to conduct the tests, Flor, whose handcuffs had been removed, grabbed Officer James Warunek's gun and shot both officers and a hospital employee before fleeing to the garage roof, police said.
 
Police said the man grabbed the gun and started shooting so quickly that the other officer, Brian Gregg, did not have a chance to pull his gun.
 
"After firing five shots from the officer’s weapon, he fled the emergency room. He was chased from the emergency room by another hospital employee. He was ultimately apprehended on the upper floor of the garage," Bucks County District Attorney Diane Gibbons said.
 
Gregg, who has been working for the Newtown Borough Police Department for one year, died. Warunek, who also has one year on the job, is in good condition.
 
Flor is in the Bucks County Jail without bond and faces charges of murder and attempted murder. "
 
The officer would have celebrated one year on the force today and leaves behind a wife and infant. He was one of 4 full-time police officers in Newtown Borough.
 
This, over a drunken driving incident... Angry

WTF? That sucks so bad...
 
We had a Marine that was brought in by the MP's one night, after a drunk driving arrest. We drew the blood alcohol content, and at that moment, he leaped up and started freaking out. He beat up a nurse and took a swing at the doctor. I took him out with a metal IV stand. So, additionally, he also got to have stitches in the top of his head.  Angry

Good for you!!  It's unbelievable!  Where I live they are always proposing raising taxes on cigarettes (to get us to quit smoking and "polluting the air"Wink, and gas but I have yet to see a proposal to raise taxes on liquor...Pollute the Air???  How about the many people killed in drunk driving accidents, where the drunk driver walks away with his life???  Angry

Oh my gawd, Jimmy!!!  I just saw this on NBC10 once I got home from work!  Totally scared me to death when they headlined it with "shooting in local ER" - half my friends work in ERs around here!!!  Hell, I was an ER employee for a good bit of time, myself!  I always worried about getting shot - we had some very angry people coming in....I took care of prisoners in trauma one night just a few short months ago - and it wasn't my idea of a good time even one bit.  So sad to hear that the officer was killed and the place was so chaotic!  I think that may be the first hospital on-site shooting I've ever heard around here.  Of course, as you probably remember, that radiology tech who worked at Pennsylvania Hospital was shot at the corner of 9th and Market earlier this year - which was also very sad. Sad
 
Also on the news right after that was a bad bad car crash in Bucks County killing 3 16 year olds.  That's so depressing.  No word yet on cause of crash - but with 16 year olds, you just never know.  They were going to pass that law about young drivers not having other young passengers in the car because it's distracting to them.   Cry
 
Then there was a rape last night in the freaking PATCO at 8th and Locust!  I took the PATCO from that station just one time on my way out to Haddonfield.  Scariest half an hour in my life, and I'd never do it again.  That station is almost right behind where I lived all last year.  Super safe area, too!  But.....people traveling to Camden scare me a lot  LOL  I've never ridden SEPTA subway - the bus scared me damn well enough.  I'll stick with the train as far as public transportation around here.
 
Bad day of news in the Philly area.....   Undecided
 
On that note - I'm going to bed until noon - have to get up to pack for home and go to a doc appt in Philly at 4.  Also, I'm transitioning back for 2 weeks of day shift.  What a love I now have acquired for shift switching!  heh  I'd rather stay on nights for sure!  Except it does make it hard for seeing friends and family!
 
Stay safe up there in Bucks Co...seems like a nutty place these past 2 days!  Oh and never go to St. Marys anyways - we seem to get quite a few transfers from there......!

Oh and random factoid - I forget the exact percentage but most nurses have experienced some form of abuse by patients in the hospital.  Discount the verbal abuse, and I got hit by a patient once last fall.  No injury caused - just some big surprise!  I was just trying to do an EKG...LOL
 
A NICU nurse got beat up really really badly (glasses smashed, hair pulled - to the point of being pulled out in some places) a couple years ago by a Methadone mom and her friend.  Um....  my job sometimes scares me.  This past spring we had to get security up on  maternity multiple times for a physically abusive father and finally he was arrested.

When I did patient care many years ago I worked in a Med surgical ward and we had a lot of nursing home patients who were transferred to us. Many of them were null and void. Anyways one time I walked into a room and one of those old ladies threw a shitball at me. She dug her hiny and made a nice ball and I swear it could have made the Guiness book it was the size of a baseball. Well it missed me but I was not even angry, I was laughing so hard. Brought in all the staff to see this one. homegirl was just sitting in her bed oblivious.

No matter what they do to the murderer it won't bring back that officer, father, son, brother, husband, friend. How many lives have been ruined by his drinking? If people can't handle alcohol they shouldn't be allowed to drink. Bastard.
