A vigil was held Wednesday for Newark Police Detective Joseph Azcona, who was shot and killed in the line of duty last Friday. 🕯🙏🏻

Please pray for the Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper who was seriously injured in the line of duty this afternoon. 🙏🏻

A Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper was airlifted to a Nashville hospital after he was rear-ended this afternoon near the Benton/Henry County line.

Trooper Douglas Williams, an 11-year veteran of the force, was patrolling on his 2024 Harley-Davidson police motorcycle on U.S. Highway 641 when he was rear-ended. Paramedics from the Benton County EMS quickly arrived on the scene to begin treatment.
Trooper Williams suffered serious injuries, but his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. He was flown to Skyline Medical Center in Nashville for treatment.

We recently reported about former Las Cruces police officer Brad Lunsford, who was found guilty of manslaughter when he shot and killed a suspect who gained control of his partner’s Taser.
