In Fort Oglethorpe....A Police Officer has been shot at the Chick Filet on Battlefield Parkway.

UPDATE: NewsChannel9's just confirmed from Fort Oglethorpe police chief David Eubanks that the officer's body armor deflected the shot intended for him. We are still unclear on the officer's condition, but this is welcome news. Chief Eubanks also tells NewsChannel9 there was an active warrant out for the suspected shooter. Eubanks says a Walker County deputy pulled the suspect over and called for assistance from Fort Oglethorpe.

According to witnesses the bad guy is dead. We deal with a lot of Police Officers here and ask that everyone pray for this Officer and the bad guys family as well. He may be a bad guy but he is someone's son or brother

The Officer shot was Mitchell Moore and he was a Walker County. The suspect was I believe David Coats his parents are very good customers of Rick and their oldest son killed himself last year.

A lady I work with said yesterday morning when we first heard this had happend that she bet it was David Coats . . . her sister knows his x-wife quite well.  From everything I've heard, the officers did the best they could with a very bad situation.  Too bad someone didn't get this guy help before it came to this.
