Police officer killed in Utah?

The only information that is being released at this time is what the father is saying about the son, Mattew Stewart, who is alledged to have killed the police officer Jared Francom in Ogden, along with injuring 5 other police officers. The father was estranged from the son and had not had contact to with the son. That tells me that there was a problem with the father and son relationship, so what the father says is probably not completely accurate. The father is making the son seem so innocent and I don't believe him to be a completely innocent party here.

Matthew Stewart didn't want to buy illegal drugs, so he was growing drugs illegally??? The local media went to the Veterans Administration (VA) and they wouldn't answer any questions, so why isn't the VA talking to confirm Stewart's military service and ptsd? My opinion on who is at fault is that I really don't know? Though I have an opinion of this whole situation being very sad, not just for the family members but for the Ogden community. I live in Mill Creek apartment building that has some veterans with drug/alcohol problems and personally know how things can get to an extreme situation like in Ogden.

Although the police have a job to do and to do it well, it is always sad to loose any of them. This should have been a simple situation, the police never know what they are facing daily. The warrant for growing pot should have been handled in a controlled situation. The man growing the pot is at fault here.

There have been many officers killed in 2011. If I were an officer no more walking up to the car, I say have each person to step out and place them in handcuffs immediately, until you can find out what is going on, for your safety.I believe they use this tactic when stopping a vehicle who they know has a felony, so why can the not use this same tactic on regular stops?

We will remeber his wife and the two children who are left behind.in prayer. May God Bless.

I see that you're conversing about officer Ken Hammond who's an Ogden Utah police officer. certain i'd say that he develop right into a hero yet i also say that there are others that are hero's. For an social gathering there develop into the shop vendors/workers they could allow human beings into the shops and then they could lock the doorways and turn off the lighting fixtures. they could allow the human beings contained in the back rooms of the shop and tried to provide the mall shoppers and others from entering into harms way. i'd also say that the quite a few shoppers might want to nicely be hero's because a number of them might want to placed there life on the line to maintain others. different shoppers might want to spread the note what is going on and run with any human beings to get out of trolley sq. mall. i'd say that each and each and every one in each and every of the policemen are hero's so is likewise the different emergency human beings even the medical doctors i'd evaluate. certain the quite a few police officials did bypass in and kill the guy that develop into causing each and each and every of the difficulty. I actual have heard thoughts of a nurse i believe who develop into also off duty tried to stay with a guy and help him inclusive of his injuries. The medical doctors on the diverse health center that are holding those alive i'd evaluate a hero. there are quite a few hero's round us. Any policemen or woman on duty or no longer might want to do an similar element that officer Hammond did.

Where the story? I don't know which one you mean. Is that the White vet that shot the Ranger too? They are saying that he has PTSD. But I'll bet that the Black Iraq vet that killed a White woman a few weeks ago, will have the book thrown at him, even though his family said that he just snapped, and that he has PTSD too. His family have been trying to get help for him for the longest, and the government just dismissed them. War really does f*k up soldiers minds. It's a shame. It has them thinking that their own family is the "enemy" or that old woman that was just out walking her dog. He may have seen her as the "enemy". The guy was on medication, but sometimes that medication doesn't work. And they are closing down VA hospitals left and right. Such a tragedy all the way around.

I had not heard of this until now.

But the only one at fault here is the guy who shot the cop.

Once he is found guilty he should be put to death in the town square immediately.

And I do not want to hear about any cockamamie defense.

If one is guilty if murder there are no circumstances to justify it.
