OT but I need to share...

I just learned that a friend of my wife and I's was killed last night, and even though it is a long shot, I need your help. Here's the story:

Breaking News - Officer Killed
A Red Bluff Police officer was killed while pumping gas early this morning.
31 year old Officer Dave Mobilio was found shot to death at a Main Street gas station between 1:30a.m. and 2a.m. this morning.
Authorities say he'd been shot once in the head.
Mobilio was a 4 year veteran of the Red Bluff Police Department.
He was married with a young son.

Authorities are looking for a man as a possible witness to the shooting.
He's described as a white male in his 20's wearing a tan beanie-style hat. He may be driving a brown Olds sedan, with California tags - 3GNK307.
Anyone who was in the area or who may have information about the shooting - contact Red Bluff police at 530-527-3131.

Sorry about the OT nature, but I was devistated when I learned of this, and want the SOB that did this to pay.

Matt,

I'm very sorry to hear about that.

My heart goes out to yours and the officer's family.

Take care.

Matt

I'm sitting here reading this as I just finished a double shift. Thats terrible news. when something like this happens, I take it personally. I know the Red Bluff Police Department will use all of its resources to get that ******* coward.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and Officer Mobilio's family.

it bugs me when a young guy dies.. it bugs me more when a crook kills him.. and I can't deal with the horror of the 50 PO, and 90 FD that routinely die on the job each year

My dad is a retired cop, and he was shot in the chest (thank God for Kevlar) by some junkie scumbag back in '83 or '84. Needless to say, he was okay... I don't think the junkie walked away...

Sorry to hear about your loss.

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. That really is awful and senseless. I'm sure a lot of people will be working very hard to find the person(s) who did it. I'll say a prayer for you & your friend's family. Hang in there....Sarah
