New mom (cop) gunned down hours before maternity leave.

[aj1987]

A 29-year-old police officer who had put off maternity leave after giving birth prematurely to a daughter in February was being mourned Thursday, a day after she was gunned down in a shootout with a fugitive.

Kerrie Orozco, the first female officer from Omaha's police department to die in the line of duty, had only recently given birth to a daughter, and also was stepmother to two children ages 6 and 7, according to authorities. She was pronounced dead at Creighton University Medical Center shortly after the 1 p.m. shooting, Police Chief Todd Schmaderer said at a hospital news conference. Schmaderer said the suspect, 26-year-old Marcus Wheeler, also died at the hospital.

"Officer Kerrie Orozco gave her life for all of us in her service to the Omaha Police Department," said Omaha Mayor Jean Stohert. "She will be remembered and missed as a loving wife, mother, daughter and dedicated officer."

Orozco was part of a fugitive task force looking for Wheeler to serve a felony arrest warrant for an earlier Omaha shooting. As they closed in on the suspect Wednesday afternoon, Wheeler opened fire, prompting police to return gunfire, Schmaderer said.

Orozco, a seven-year veteran of the department who worked in the gang unit, had delivered a premature baby in February, who is due to go home from an Omaha hospital Thursday. She had postponed her maternity leave until the baby was released.

"[The baby] is set to be released from the hospital tomorrow," Schmaderer said, his voice breaking.

It's been more than 10 years since an Omaha officer was killed in the line of duty, when Officer Jason "Tye" Pratt was shot and killed in September 2003, while chasing down a fleeing suspect. The suspect, 21-year-old Albert Rucker of Omaha, was in turn shot and killed by another officer.

Orozcom, who is survived by her husband, Hector Orozco, coached baseball at an Omaha Boys and Girls Club, was a Special Olympics volunteer and served as president of the Police Officers' Ball to benefit the Special Olympics, the chief said. She also took in rescue dogs and was a Girl Scout mentor.

"She was a friend, a popular officer," Schmaderer said. "I just can't even imagine that this has happened. The city of Omaha owes her and her family a debt of gratitude."

Dr. Michael Wagner, a trauma critical care surgeon at the hospital, said his team provided "aggressive care" to Orozco, but she could be revived.

Gov. Pete Ricketts said Orozco's death is a stark reminder of what police officers face every day they go to work.

"[This] tragic news is devastating to the law enforcement community and all Nebraskans," Ricketts said. "We must all ensure that Officer Orozco's sacrifice will never be forgotten."

So ****ing sad.

Oh look another black guy killing a cop.

Is there any reason to think that has anything to do with it?

[oh the horror]

No. He's just being a douche.

C'mon man, don't be afraid to say it. If the roles were reversed, we'd be watching live coverage on the news right now.

I don't doubt that. And they would be wrong to blindly ASSUME that race was a factor. I'm not saying that it wasn't. But there is no evidence that it was either.

[Akrazotile]

No. He's just being a douche.



As just mentioned, if the roles were reversed, wouldnt you be the one freaking out, jumping to conclusions, and demanding society look at this unacceptable trend of violence?

Ohhhh but wait. Oh the horror doesnt mind singling out and generalizing police officers. Because theyre white authority figures. So like, how much can you really hurt their feelings, right? They have that white, establishment arrogance. Calling out their trends is harmless.

But black people? Oh the horror assumes they should be extra sensitive and insecure - afterall, theyre black, right? Oh the horror has made the decision that blacks SHOULD be more sensitive to criticism bc theyre black and he must think thats a social disadvantage worth pitying. So he doesnt want to pile on. He has decided that the black man should be pitied, and therefore nobody else is allowed to say something that could jeopardize his already frail self assurance (in OTH's mind). Whereas with cops, meh, theyre white, so theyre probably already arrogant anyway. Its ok to tear them down.

Thats what this is about.

Its really amazing that there is a point blank, obvious statistical trend that violence overwhelmingly comes from predominantly black communities, and the beta cuck libs have basically put a moratorium on addressing it. Because why? It might "hurt a wittle bitty feeling!" GOAT f@ggots.

It's that California water (or lack thereof). A Liberal wasteland.

[mehyaM24]

interesting. why are these headlines not "white police officer killed by armed BLACK man"?? if she had killed him, and subsequently lived, it would read "white officer kills another unarmed black man" !! where's the equality? lol @ the media

[Patrick Chewing]

Look at the black guy that killed that entire family in D.C. and set the house on fire.


Only Fox News is reporting on it.

Well, that's a lie. It's on the front page of MSN at the very least.

Stop lying.

[aj1987]

This definitely should be at the level of the other cases. Absolutely ridiculous that nobody give a shit about a new mom, who's a cop, getting gunned by a black guy.

Can you white guys go out and burn down a couple of cities? /sarcasm

Sad AF! A couple of hours and she would've been home for months taking care of her kid.

If he actually survived, the punishment of these people should be SADISTIC. How about chopping them up from their toes while they're alive? Would keep them alive till the executioner reaches the stomach.

You can't possibly be this dumb. Blacks get mad when authority figures kill civilians AND THEN ARE LET GO.

And mind you the key here is AUTHORITY!!!!!!! This is whats frustrating. Murder is bad obviously. But it worse when its being committed by a person whose in a position of authority.

i believe taking the high road of allowing the legal process to work, not whining and screaming and raving and demanding as some have done - will prove the correct road in the end.

How is it worse? Do you not realize that police officers have weapons? To protect themselves and others from the fringe, criminal element? Would you walk up to a car full of thugs that have weapons with just your baton stick??


Of course, you're a neanderthal with your way of thinking and cannot comprehend that probably 99.99% of officer-related shootings are justified.

[TheMan]

Orozco is a Hispanic surname, just pointing it out...enough with the race baiting. Tragic but tons of people die everyday.

It's worse because the officers are put in a position to protect the citizens you moron. Not make things worse by contributing to the problem. Police officers are put a position to protect the community.

What worse being raped by some stranger or being raped by your father?

In response to your 99.9 stat. Funny thing is, I was discussing something similar with a friend and he bought up a good point. We all work I assume. And in our place of employment, we all know who doing wrong. Stealing, not working, taking longer breaks. That holds true with police. Why dont police police each other????? Why are police scandals always uncovered on video????? Im sure they were doing crazy things wayyyyy before that video. When is a police officer gonna actually start calling out thus .1%? You really think Chris Doerner was lying???? About everything he said?

To some it dies because it helps their agenda

[nathanjizzle]

yes it does.

there is no agenda. a black thug shot and killed a white woman police officer and newly mom. this isnt the exception. black thugs do shit like this, over and over you hear and see it in the news, but its still an "agenda". or is it reality that people must accept.

Would it be ok if the thug was white?

[Dbrog]

2 points. Firstly, if you're a cop, you do so knowing the risks of the job. Is it sad? Of course it is. You aren't human if you think otherwise. However, they sign up for this risk voluntarily. The other point is why was this officer even on this job? Clearly she's close to popping, why would she be responding to ANY calls? There is certainly desk work to do. Why did the police station take on this type of risk in these conditions? They are questions that need to be asked because it does seem somewhat negligent on their part.

Yeah, from people like Freddie Gray and Michael Brown! You want to make this argument against cops, but in these cases that have made the public eye, you guys are dead wrong.

Are there crooked cops? Sure. Anyone with half a brain knows that. There are crooked priests, politicians, you name it. But if you think this small minority of crooked cops is just out to get black people, that's just not true.


And you're going to mention Dorner?? That guy was batshit crazy. Period.

Personally. I feel Michael Brown deserved what he got. Based on what was presented.

I can't agree with the Gray case. He didn't enter custody with a broken neck, he requested med attention. I just don't feel that all.criminals deserve to die. And you shouldn't either.

[Blue&Orange]

criminals often kill innocent people, it's on their job description that's why they are criminals. AFAIK killing innocent unarmed civilians aren't in cops job description.

This is something very very very very simple to understand, but obviously the resident full fledge retards of this forum don't get it and already established moronic comparisons.


God bless them :applause:

Weren't most of them criminals?

Sure.

[97 bulls]

So? Does that mean they deserved to die? Were they threatening the life of another person at the time of their death?

Its like I said earlier (and never got an answer to or a response) if you got a speeding ticket or a ticket for running a red light should a police officer be able to kill you under the guise that you were committing a crime?????

Not saying that they deserve to die and your analogy is retarded. A speeding ticket?? :facepalm Stealing, Assault, etc. =/= "a speeding ticket".

A person with a criminal history dies when he was being subdued or when he retaliates and CNN and all the other major networks plaster it all over for weeks, it's a 20 page discussion on ISH, but when a black person kills a new mom, it's not even on the frontpage of CNN?

I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of the libtards and their media.

I'm a minority, BTW.

Lol. Do you know why there is a law against speeding? Because you could kill a person or people.. Qnd cause far more damage monetarily than robbing a liquor store. That's why I use this example.

And again. Im not implying that its ok or thats what should happen to a person that gets caught speeding. Im showing you the slippery slope one goes down when they try to justify the police killing a person that wasn't putting anyones life in danger. Justifying that Gray situation by saying its ok because he commited a crime is outlandish. He was subdued. He was handcuffed. He was in their custody.

:wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

I wasn't justifying Gray's death. I didn't even bring him up. All I'm saying is that the libtards need to give equal importance. Did CNN even run this story? People make fun of Fox (as they should), but CNN (and all other libtard media) is just as bad as them.

Come on, son.

Lemme ask you something....

If a guy is drinking a soda, and throws the empty can on the ground... If a cop approaches this person to write him a ticket for littering, if the guy punches the cop and tries to grab his gun, then the cop manages to shoot him....

Would you describe this as "being killed for littering"?

Of course not. But to take it a step further, if the guy was eventually handcuffed, and subdued, but some how gets killed anyway, I don't think one can justify it by going back and looking at his past.
