OPD Officer Paul Latschar
Officer Paul Latschar of Omaha Police Departments Gang Unit was shot on a routine traffic stop last night. Last report was he was in critical condition, but improving. Ironically he was shot on the anniversary date of the death of Jimmy Wilson Jr, an officer shot and killed just two miles away 13 years ago.
Having been married to a police officer for 5 years I can only imagine what his family is going through.
My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family, as well as all of the other officers on the department. The fellowship of the law enforcement field has never ceased to amaze me. This extends to the families of those that wear uniforms as well. If anyone would like to leave thoughts, comments, prayers, wishes here with my post, feel free to submit them. I will approve all of them as long as they are not done in poor taste.
Godspeed Paul.
For the rest of you wearing the badge out there, Be Safe.
