Police officer shot in Anniston

[2Stater]

I got an official report he was flown to Birmingham and he is now brain-dead and life supoort is all they have on him. May God strengthen his family. He was 27 yrs old. RTR!

This completely breaks my heart. God bless his family. God help the people who did it. They WILL be found.

This is such a heinous act it is almost indescribable. He is so young.  for his family and him, knowing that we serve a God that is more than capable of bringing someone back (provided that He has not already called him home at this hour).

Also, a couple Krystal employees where shot last night in Decatur.  Terrible thing to end someone's life for a little money.

Caught them, they worked there.

Anniston, AL - An Anniston Police Officer is not likely to survive after being shot in the head late Wednesday morning.

Anniston Mayor Gene Robinson tells our news partner WBMA-TV in Birmingham that Officer Justin Sollohub is brain dead and on life support following the incident. According to WBMA, Robinson says Sollohub is an organ donor and is being kept alive so that he "may continue to serve citizens even after he is gone." Robinson also said his heart is with Sollohub's family.

The 27 year old Sollohub was shot around 11:00 a.m. Wednesday while chasing a pair of suspects from a traffic stop. It's unclear why the suspects were stopped. What is known is that Officer Sollohub radioed back to the dispatcher that he'd begun a foot pursuit with the suspects. Minutes later, a second officer who came to assist radioed back "Officer Down".

Investigators believe Sollohub chased the man through a neighborhood, and was shot in the head while rounding the corner of a home. After a manhunt lasting several hours, a suspect was finally located and arrested. He's been identified as 24 year old Joshua Russell. He's been charged with Attempted Murder, a charge that's sadly likely to be updated if Mayor Robinson's information is correct.

A search of court records shows that Russell has five felony convictions over the past five years, mostly involving drugs.

When I heard about this shooting. I thought that it was people that may have worked there. Police said that the lobby of the business was locked.

ANNISTON, Alabama — Authorities say an Anniston police officer who was shot while on duty has died of his injuries.

Jeniffer Morris tells The Anniston Star that her son, Officer Justin Sollohub, had been kept alive by machines after the shooting so that his organs can be donated to others.

Authorities say 25-year-old Joshua Eugene Russell was being held in the shooting, with bond set at $420,000. Authorities say he has now been charged with capital murder since Sollohub died.

Calhoun County Sheriff Larry Amerson says Russell was transferred to nearby Etowah County to make sure he is treated fairly.

I guarantee he ain't gonna get any sympathy from any cop anywhere for taking down a fellow officer.
