Jimmy got off early this morning, so it isn't him.

[Machx2]

On http://dfw.cbslocal.com/ front page it doesn't give details. Says Officer is in serious condition.

[Unicorn Jeff]

Hope he pulls through and Matt has been off but I'm sure he'd know if it was on of his guys.

Matt doesn't work that division now. He works southwest. Jimmy (Treadhead) works central (downtown).

My friend works at MedStar right there. They are on lock down. She said the officer was killed and suspect believed to still be in the area.
