Gun Battle in KC, MO

The guys of KC SWAT Street Narcotics Unit were involved in two shoot outs yesterday. Two of the officers that I followed for most of a year were shot. One was treated and released the other wasn't so lucky and was rushed into surgery. I've been in touch with two of the Sgt's and the officer is doing well today. His long term prognosis is still unclear.

It was also one year to the day that I filmed the Street Narcotics Unit getting shot at while serving a narcotics search warrant. If we were there in KC filming the 4th season of SWAT we would have been with them... again. I think they should all take the day off in 2008.

These guys put their lives on the line every day they hit the streets. They are - real American heroes.
