Officer down, Tuscaloosa PD Alabama

Investigator Dornell Cousette was shot and killed yesterday while attempting to serve a warrant at a home near the intersection of Short 17th Street and 33rd Avenue at 6:25 pm.

The subject was wanted for failing to appear on prior felony charges and had been located at his home by a bondsman. When Investigator Cousette arrived at the scene to assist the man ran inside the home. Investigator Cousette pursued him inside where the man opened fire. Investigator Cousette was struck in the face. Despite being mortally wounded he was able to return fire and wounded the subject.

Investigator Cousette was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his wounds. The subject was arrested after showing up at the hospital as a result of his gunshot wounds.

Investigator Cousette was a U.S. Army veteran and had served with the Tuscaloosa Police Department for 13 years. He is survived by his two daughters and fiancée.

Godspeed my brother, may your family both blood and blue find peace.

Holy cow that is horrible to hear. This is what our brave law enforcement officers all over the country deal with every day. And they do it happily and with pride.

Please make it a point, next time you see a police officer out in a cafe, restaurant, car wash or wherever, please by them their coffee or lunch or a wash and say thank you. I do this often, but still not often enough. They really appreciate it, and we appreciate them.

RIP and RTR my friend
