Officer down Kimberly PD, Alabama

Police Officer Nick O'Rear was shot yesterday during a vehicle pursuit on I-65 near Old U.S. Highway 31 at about 10:00 pm.

An officer with the Warrior Police Department had initiated the pursuit when he attempted to conduct a traffic stop. Office O'Rear responded to assist in the pursuit when the man opened fire, striking him. Officer O'Rear's vehicle then crashed nearby. He was transported to UAB Hospital where he succumbed to his wounds at 1:15 am.

The driver fled into Jefferson County where he was taken into custody and subsequently charged with capital murder.

Officer O'Rear had served with the Kimberly Police Department for one year and had previously served with the Ashville Police Department. He is survived by his expectant wife and two children.

Godspeed my brother, may your family find peace.

"And when our work is done,
Our course on earth is run,
May it be said, 'Well done'
Be thou at peace."

Well done, Officer O'Rear. Be thou at peace.
