Arizona: A Phoenix police officer shot by a car prowling suspect in September was honored by fans and players during Thursday's Grand Canyon University men's basketball game. 

Officer Matthew Haney received a standing ovation as he stood on center court with his wife and child, holding an honorary game ball. 

“They gave us a chance to honor a hero, Matthew Haney, who really sacrificed himself several months ago and was shot in the line of duty,” said Phoenix Police Interim Chief Michael Sullivan. 

It was Sept. 3 when Haney and his partner, officer Zane Coolidge, were investigating a car break-in near 16th Street and McDowell Road.

The two chased after the suspect, Saul Bal, who police say started shooting at the officers, hitting them both. 

Officer Coolidge died from his injuries at the hospital days later — leaving behind a loving family, including his wife and 5-month-old daughter. 

Officer Haney continues to recover and has since returned to work on "light duty. 🙏🏽

*NEWS INTERRUPTION*

🥴A nationwide network of lawyers, pro-democracy advocates and specialists is being formed in preparation for Donald Trump to return to power and possibly seek retribution against his opponents legally.

The network, which is in the early stages of formation according to NBC News, will function as a “loose-knit blend” of nonprofit groups that offer pro-bono legal work, security assistance, public relations help and much more.

Its formation intends to offer sprawling assistance to those who, they believe, could be targeted by Trump and his allies as the president-elect prepares to take back the White House on January 20.

“It’s necessary because we’re seeing threats of the improper use of government and investigative power like we haven’t seen in modern times in our country,” Norm Eisen, an attorney and co-founder of the State Democracy Defenders Fund, told NBC News.

“The pro bono bar and nonprofit legal organizations need to be ready to provide strong support to those who are targeted unfairly,” Eisen added.
