About Me

My photo
Durham, NC, United States
As a photojournalist my principal interests are spot news, fires, etc. I also like to see the humor in everyday situations. In my 42 years as a photojournalist I have seen a lot of people die. First, during the Salvadoran Civil War, and since then, on some of the 'mean streets' of my adopted hometown......still, a great little town all the same!

Durham officer wounded at jail !!!

Durham officers work the area just outside the jails booking area where a handcuffed prisoner armed with a weapon managed to shoot an officer during a struggle for a handgun that was apparently hidden in the suspects waistband. The officer who suffered a graze wound to the abdomen was transported to hospital for treatment before being released a few hours later. He is now recuperating at home. Investigators are trying to determine how the incident could have happened.
