It is with great sorrow that I have to write another post about a fallen officer so soon after my last. On the evening of 5/11/2007, Cpl Bruce McKay, Franconia NH was making a routine traffic stop. The details or sketchy as yet, however, during the stop, the driver left the scene. After a brief pursuit, the driver stopped again. At some point after that, the driver opened fire on Cpl McKay. Cpl McKay was struck four times, and collapsed in the roadway. The driver then ran over Cpl McKay, and pinned him under his vehicle.
This whole incident was witnessed by a father and son. The father, Gregory Floyd, went to the aid of Cpl McKay, and took his duty weapon from his belt. He pointed the gun at the driver, who was in the process of reloading, ordering him to drop the gun. He did not, and was subsequently shot by Floyd.
Cpl McKay was 48 years old and a 12 year veteran of Franconia PD. He has a 10 year old daughter. Gregory Floyd is 49 and deserves a medal. The dead driver is Liko Kenney, cousin of skier Bodie Miller.
Updates as I get them to follow.
