Sr. Cpl. Norman Smith was shot in the face tonight at approximatley 6:30 pm while serving a search warrant. He is a long time member of the DPD Gang Unit and his wife is also a member of DPD.
There were 4 people in the apt. building when DPD was serving the warrant. 3 suspects, including the shooter are in custody.
Keep his family and colleagues in your thoughts and prayers. http://www.myfoxdfw.com/myfox/pages/...Y&pageId=1.1.1 http://www.wfaa.com/sharedcontent/dw....45b25098.html | | | | | Sponsored Links | Premium Members do not see Google advertisements. SIGN UP today and help support our community.
