For those who dont know we had a major tragedy here last night in West Virginia. A boy stole a car and was pulled over by two state troopers for drunk driving and chaos ensued, with the two troopers being shot, a man chase and another trooper being shot with the victim eventually being shot and killed. Please read this and please please pray for my friends, I am a total mess with this and need your prayers as well!!
Please continue to pray for these!! One of the troopers shot is in very critical condition and is fighting for his life right now. He is one of my very good buddies that i fish with a lot, one of the best outdoorsman i have ever met. Him an the other trooper arrested the victim for reckless driving (DUI) put him in the car, he somehow got out of his cuffs and got a gun from somewhere and when they got in the car he shot them both in the back of the head, killing one and severly hurting the other.
Eric Workman is his name, he is in the hospital here in charleston now fighting to stay alive. The doctors said he was shot in the back of the head and severed his brain stem, his brain was without oxygen for 15 minutes and he is now mentally unfunctional. They are going to give him a few days to see if his brain ever wakes up but it is not looking good at all. The brain surgeon said, "Only God can save him now!" My God is the healer and i believe he can touch Eric and save him, please God extend your hand and touch his body.
Along with these two troopers a Deputy was also shot as he walked up on the victim in the ditch, victim shot him in the arm leg and stomach and the deputy shot him and killed him. The Deputies name is Chris Legg and i went to high school with him, he was my goalie in soccer. He is alright and recovering, please pray guys these men really need all of it from everyone. thanks so much!

What a true tragedy... prayers for all...
Thanks everyone, please continue to pray that God will reach down and touch Eric and perform a true miracle, i know he can do it but thats the only hope right now. The machines are all thats keeping him alive at this point and the family has to make a decision in the next couple of days of what to do from here. just sad and still cant believe it happens
Wow thats just sad, prayers sent! :jesus-cross:
Eric's injuries he sustained were just too severe and he would have never recovered. The only thing keeping him alive were the machines and they unplugged them today. Eric went home to be with the lord this afternoon, hes much better off. I bet hes up there catching 50 inch muskies every cast now, he was one of the best outdoorsman and musky fisherman i ever met, and i was very lucky to be able to share a boat with him on several occasions.
I will be going to Eric's favorite musky hole tomorrow that me and him fished quite often and I know he will be right there with me. Hopefully he will be my net man and guide a big ol musky in the net for me. I know i will miss him greatly.
Please continue to pray for his family and all his friends. This whole state is grieving his loss!! Thanks everyone.
Not the news we hoped for but thanks for the update. Prayers for the family & friends...
