Officer Down in Georgia

[Jacob2899]

Terrible news. I first heard about this late last night on twitter. One of the officers I follow is with this department. He is asking for prayers to help the department get through this, and also for the family.

RIP Officer Daniel.

Poice Officer Elgin Daniel was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver while assisting a stranded motorist on North Henry Boulevard in Stockbridge.

The motorist had run out of gas and was being assisted by Officer Daniel and a roadside assistance worker. As the roadside assistance worker put gas into the car a pickup truck entered the area and struck him and Officer Daniel before fleeing the scene. Both men were transported to a local hospital where Officer Daniel succumbed to his injuries. The roadside assistance worker was seriously injured.

The driver who struck them remains at large.

Officer Daniel had served with the Henry County Police Department for two years after retiring as a lieutenant with 26 years of service with the DeKalb County Police Department
