Kansas City Detective Shot and Killed

[KevDen2005]

Detective Brad Lancaster was shot and killed while assisting patrol officers who had responded to a suspicious person call at the Hollywood Casino at approximately 12:20 pm.

The subject had fled from the responding officers on foot, but was located by Detective Lancaster in a nearby field. The man opened fire on Detective Lancaster, striking him twice before stealing his unmarked vehicle and fleeing the scene. He carjacked another vehicle a short distance away and abducted two children who were in the backseat. The man then carjacked a second vehicle and fled into Kansas City, Missouri, where he was located by officers.

He shot a citizen while attempting to carjack a third vehicle after crashing the car he was in during a pursuit. A Kansas City, Missouri, police officer shot the subject and then took him into custody.

Detective Lancaster had served with the Kansas City Police Department for 10 years.

Was he wearing a vest? I know detectives don't sometimes.

Im sure that poor suspect was trying to turn his life around before the mean cops tried to talk to him.

I ran across this moving tribute of Amazing Grace sung at Detective Lancasters funeral that I felt compelled to share here.

Very touching song for the fallen officer.
I have three close friends in blue and worry about them quite often.

Makes me sick when I see people openly disrespecting police.
