AFT_LOVER Posted August 31, 2006 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2006 after taking my husband to work this morning, I am held up on the freeway with a 25 POLICE CAR balloon to autos in the middle going to Metro Hospital by my home. So I follow to see other fellow officers that immedatly come over to hug & cry. Then I learn that Vice Detective A J Schroeder was shot & killed at 12:021AM as he served a warrant for arrest of a burglar & rapist. The 2 handed shooter blew apart the center of his door & a bullet went into AJ's armpit & into his heart killing him. The Police balloon was for his parents from Pittsburgh & wife with year old son with them. 3 other brothers didn't know so 10 hours of quiet from media til they were found & told. So Funeral is Tuesday - Wake this weekend. 1000 police cars due so far from all over USA & Canada. The Navy Blue Angels are in town for the air show this Labor Day weekend, and Michael MCDonald is in concert at Blossom with Steely Dan tomorrow night. I just placed a call to Dan at HOB to have Mike call me to do a few tunes for CPD this weekend. He has agreed & it will be at the Office's Memorial where AJ's badge will be added. Saturday evening for the officers & family. Now I just learn that AJ was to learn that he has #2 on the way. So we have a job for 9 months. A day of tears, hugs & getting stuff done planning the funeral. There just is no way to describe how we are all shot right along with him. But tomorrow will be another day to get back to normal.

raerae Posted August 31, 2006 #23 Share Posted August 31, 2006 MACOP~~ This is so terrible. My DS is a police officer and has had 3 fellow officers shot. They were all lucky enough to survive however. I will pray for A.J.'s family, his police family and all officers out there putting their lives on the line for us day in & day out. Take care.
