Community
Hospital in Munster, Indiana, is a psych hospital. Early Tuesday one
of the patients attacked and started beating the crap out of a nurse.
At the time there were two armed retired cops working security there.
They responded to the scene separately. The patient managed to wrestle
the pistol out of the first officers holster and shot him. The bullet
went thru his arm and into his chest killing him. The second responding
officer shot the patient to death.
I
remember a tragic police death here in Stockton some years ago. A
brand new Sergeant, riding solo on first watch, interacted with a
wandering thug in the middle of the night. The Sergeant was beaten to
death by the thug. Even though the cop was dead, the thug did not
manage to remove the pistol from the security holster and fled without
it.
A good security holster is not cheap and requires some additional training, but it can be a very valuable investment.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The cop was beaten to death by an unarmed man.
