i knew of the guy, I saw him around before. the car he stole Wednesday belonged to my one of my former bosses and he dumped the car Thursday right near where i work at Virginia Tech. it was a crazy day for me cause when i heard that the officer who was killed was a four year veteran i automatically thought it was my friend who i grew up with cause he's been police there for about 4 years and i was on a major freakout. we really could use some prayers down here in blacksburg for the families of not only the officer but for the shooter and his family for this tragic loss.
