ST. Louis FireFighter Shot and Killed Trying to help at a Car Wreck.

A ST. Louis Firefighter was shot and killed tonight . The Firefighter stopped to help what he thought was a car wreck. Little did he know it was a robbery suspect who just robbed a store and wrecked a car he stole. The robber then shot the ST. Louis Firefighter in the chest and stole his Fire Dept. Vehicle. The suspect then crashed and got into a shootout with police officers. The ST. Louis Firefighter was taken to a nearby Hospital where he later died of his injuries. The suspect was also killed by police. Let us take time to pray for his family and friends. Let him rest in peace.

I can't believe that something like this happened. What is the world coming to. My respects go out to the family. May God watch over them. What a horrible thing.
R.I.P. Brother...I am at a loss for words...To the family, friends and brothers in arms, you are in our prayers...I am trying hard not to go off topic...to anger...It's like the wild west and this has to stop! When someone stops to help another human being and gets shot! Everyone should sit back and think about what their firefighters do for their community. I am a firefighter and my brother is a firefighter. If this happened to my brother...I will leave it at that....such a tragedy...My heart...My departments heart...my community and country's heart goes out to all affected...Peace Brother...

"Life Matters"
Even in giving help this firefighter gave of himself.
My prayer is for his family & Fire family and friends.
His life matters to those who knew him
His life matters to those that love him
His life matters to God no matter what.
NEVER stop giving a helping hand.

My heart and prayers go out to his family,,,what a terrible loss.
I'm a St Louis Firefighter, and I've known Leonard since he came on the job. This makes me both sad and angry! I'm glad the police shot the bastard who did this so that he can't harm anyone else. Leonard was simply doing what any firefighter would do, trying to help someone else in need. May God grant rest and peace to Leonard and comfort his grieving family and friends. And yes, may God have mercy on the murderer too. My prayers are with Leonard's family as well. Brothers and sisters, stay safe out there!!
