COLORADO COP MURDERED WHILE SERVING WARRANT

A COLORADO cop is the latest casualty in the war on crime. Just two days after a U.S. Marshal was shot to death in St. Louis, Officer Jay Sheridan of Limon Police was gunned down while serving a warrant. The cop killer was later found dead. He had blown his brains out.
Officers were serving warrant at a residence in the Wagon Wheel Mobile Home Park when the suspect opened fire. Sheridan, 27, and a six year veteran was killed. Two other cops were trapped in the trailer during the standoff.
At around 10 p.m., the SWAT team moved in and found the suspect's
body.

Jim Hartwig, manager of the Wagon Wheel Mobile Home Park, said the neighborhood was evacuated about 6:15 p.m. Hartwig said he had heard at least three shots fired.
 Cops say Sheridan's wife had recently given birth to their first child.

"Jay was an outstanding officer and will be greatly missed by his fellow officers and colleagues," said Limon Police Chief Lynn Yowell.

Sheridan was one of just five cops in the Limon Police Department. The home where Sheridan lived with his wife and new baby was surrounded by law enforcement officers and officer's wives who were giving his widow emotional support.
