Winning A Gunfight<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In September copies of \u201cWinning A Gunfight\u201d were sent to the Madison County Sheriff\u2019s Office and the Gurley and Pleasant Grove Police Departments.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On June 17, Gurley police officers and Madison County deputies were working together to serve an outstanding warrant in the Gurley community. When they attempted to make the arrest, the suspect ran into the woods and began to fire upon officers. The suspect was wounded when officers returned fire. Fortunately, law enforcement was not wounded in this incident.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On September 23, a suspect was wounded during an officer-involved shooting with officers from Pleasant Grove.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anytime there is an officer-involved shooting, Blue Watch will send copies of \u201cWinning A Gunfight\u201d, to any department. \u201cWinning A Gunfight\u201d was written by retired San Antonio Police Department sergeant and now ordained pastor Tim Rupp. Tim addresses the emotional and spiritual aspects of gunfights. This is a must read for any officer that has ever been involved in an officer-involved shooting.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you or someone you know has been involved in a gun battle and would like a copy of the book, let us know. We will send you a copy at no charge. Simply email us at <\/span>info@bluewatchfoundation.org. <\/b><\/p>\n
