Police officer shot during robbery

In Mississippi, 2 masked man shot a police officer in the head while he was responding to a robbery. The wounded officer who works for the Clarkslade Police Department, is out of surgery and in stable condition. Two clerks fled through the back door.

The man were robbing the store when the officer, who was nearby, noticed suspicious activity there, according to the mayor. The man stole money from a cash register and took off. The officer caught up with the robbers four blocks from the store, where they shot him and left him bleeding on the street.

Questions:

What would you do if you were one of the workers in that store?

If you were the officer, would you try to find the men? Would you still working as a officer after almost being dead?

My opinion:

If I were one of the workers that night I would be in shock, I don't know if I would run or just stay but definitely I would call the police after the men leave. If I were the officer I would think about my safety and maybe not leave my job but try to be more careful. I think I would try to find the men only because they are dangerous people

  • Great job!

  • I think I would do the same thing the clerks did, run. If I was the officer of course I would try to find the men, it's their job. I don't think he will be able to continue working if his injury was that serious, but if it was something I truly loved doing and my medical condition was stable, I think I would continue working. 

    • I think I would just stay there because I would be in shock and I don't think running is something taht would pass through my mind

  • I would do whatever I could do to stop them. I would think about running but I probably wouldn't. Yes I would do everything I could to catch the people responsible. I would probably quit being an officer after that incidence. 

    • I don't think I would run because I would be more worry about my health

  • I would be so scared to work there again and wouldn't know what to do right then and there. If anything i would try and convince them out of it. I would try and find them just because they don't have the right to shot and officer and be able to rob a place. 

    • I agree, I would be so scared to work there but I also need a job

  • I would take off as soon as possible. I'm not going to fight against a guy that has a gun, he can have as much money as he want's as long as he doesn't shoot me. I would try to find the man since that's the job description of a police officer. I don't think I would go back to work after being shoot because I feel I would rather be with my family than dead. 

    • I agree with you. I think if that happens I would think more about my family and how lucky I'am

    • You are right, I think it would be a hard decision to go back to work after something like this happens
