The Ogle County Sherriff's Department announced three officers were wounded today in an incident in a rural area. The information concerning this situation has been pretty sparse.
Ogle County is the jurisdiction I worked in for over 30 years. I was in Court Services and worked closely with the Sherriff's department daily. I was at one time a back up negotiator for their ERT.
I am really at a loss right now wondering who was involved and their condition….
So Please if you are able say a prayer for these officers, their families and fellow officers….

Being a LEO
now days is a trulydangerous profesion It always has no doubt
but with the democrats easy on crime and jail time, open borders ,drug problems out of control ,
the lack of any respect for life young people have And no fear of prosuction
It's truly a sad time in America
Prayers sent for all that suffer from this terrible event.
Further information (with a smidgeon of local input) gives some questionable findings.
Four people shot but 3 'treated and released'. What sort of 'gun' was being used? Seems like all involved shooters were injured but none 'seriously'. Leaves a big question mark in my thoughts. Three Deputies entered the home and all were shot???
The response was outrageously out of proportion. I know that Ogle county has been flush with tax money from the nuke plant for decades but the number and variety of vehicles that responded for the show was unreal. The lack of local 'gossip' reports lead me to think there were other factors involved.
Maybe I'll pick up more of the story from the coffee shop crowd up the road in Byron.
There is suppose to be a press conference at 3 or 3:30 today.
I have been in the Byron coffee shops….. Most of the discussions there will be misinformation from folks with no clue what really happened… But they will have an opinion anyway….
Not trying to be a jerk, but I worked with and am friends with many of the individuals involved in the incident….
I truly lament………
Prayers on the way from here.
Sorry dead link…….
