The NC highway patrol lost a trooper on June 17, 2008. He stopped a truck towing a trailer that was swerving all over the road. A struggle ensued and the trooper, David Shawn Blanton Jr., was fatally shot.
I got an email at work today about the trooper's infant child. The baby was born premature and was sent back to the NICU this week for complications and the outlook is bleak.
I just can't imagine what his wife is going through. He was 24 years old with only 2 years on the force and now his baby may not make it through the week.
Talk about the suck.
