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.

Sorry to learn off this tragedy.Thoughts and prayers go out to family and co-workers.What is the world coming to,when a person stops to help someone,and they get shot or robbed etc.Ifeel the justice system has to step up more and take care of bussiness.On that note thoughts and prayers go out to the family and co-workers.

Thoughts and prayers are sent to the St. Louis fire Dept., family and friends. St. Louis F D. has a Guardian Angel watching over and going out on every call. He lives on in the hearts of every life he touched. When you look for and think about him, that's where he'll be.

THIS IS A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY, YOU OFTEN THINK OF FIRE SERVICE PERSONEL LOSING THIER LIFE AT A FIRE SCENE OR SOME OTHER TYPE OF EMERGENCY, BUT FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN IT JUST IS CONFOUNDING. HERE IS THIS FF STOPPING TO HELP, AND THIS COWARD OF A HUMAN BEING, IF YOU WISH TO EVEN CALL HIM THAT, JUST TAKES AND GUNS THIS INNOCENT MAN DOWN IN THE STREETS. ALL I CAN SAY IS MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO THIS MANS FAMILY AND NOT TO MENTION, HIS CO- WORKERS WHO WILL BE LAYING HIM TO REST. THIS IS JUST SO SENSELESS. Terry, Sr.
