Teens "AMBUSH" and Murder AZ DOC Officer
What there are not reporting in the printed news and why it’s a FIRST DEGREE Murder.
Officer Gerrard was headed to a local all night Wal-Mart to get something at about 2300 hours.
Apparently these two teens wanted to go to a PARTY in Goodyear Arizona and had no vehicle. So they went out to jack a car.
One laid in the street while the other waited in AMBUSH with a SHOTGUN and when officer Gerrard pulled over to help the teen laying in the street the other came out and shot him point blank in the chest with a shotgun. The took the keys from the officers pocket and then took his car and when they returned they burnt the car to destroy any evidence.
The police know all this because one of the "teens" turned himself in. I know because it was reported by Fox news Phoenix last night.
This has got to be one of the most callous and disgusting displays of human behavior I've heard of in a long long time.
I’m surprised this didn’t make national news.

"He leaves behind a 2-year-old son and wife, who is eight weeks pregnant."
What a horrible situation. There's no telling whether the two will even get proper punishment due to juvenile status.
I'm curious as to how they came up with the sg if they were at a party and had no vehicle.

about 15 years ago, we had a rash of this type of crime
someone would lie in the road as if injured and when a pedestrian stopped to help, his fellow gang members would come out of the bushes and shoot the victim
Prayers out for the officers family

Can only hope Officer Gerrard's fellow DOC officers will get a nice head's up of these two "Teens" arrival at the nearest Pen!
That way, they can throw these "Teens" in with the general population and wait for the steam to rise.
Rest In Peace Officer Gerarrd.

What is the matter with these people. I cant even fathom wanting to do anything like that. What kind of disgusting human being do you have to be to do such a thing.

If they're old enough to drive the car or fire the shotgun, they're old enough to get a needle in the arm, and we should throw their parents in jail as well for raising the little scumbags. May the lot of them burn in hell for all of eternity.
Officer Gerrard, rest in peace brother.

This was a horribly disgusting crime. A really shocking part is to hear neighbors and friends describe the two murderers as "normal kids". However, they constantly wandered the neighborhoods, took meals and hung out at other family's houses, and seemed to always be "looking". The fearful part for me is I see kids like this every day. Aimless, undirected, non-disciplined, truly uncared for. Watch out in the future. This won't be the last...

Only in America!
Kill a man in cold blood....they were normal! 
Tell a SOB, who you know is a low-life with the potential to break the law; If I catch you f*@king up! I'm just going to stomp the sh!t out of you! You get sent to "anger" management and/or counseling. 
Stay safe.

In a fundamentally stable and civil social environment, (not a war zone), "Pre-meditated" REQUIRES a significantly different approach to metting out punishment; Age be damned. Malice-aforethought is not necessarily a prerequisite for mercy.
Especially when a man is unnecessarily, killed and his son or daughter is left alone to ask, "why is my daddy dead now?".
My prayers go out to cover this family. May GOD be merciful on his slayers; I may not be so.
JMHO.....
