The Detroit Police Officer tried to stop the bleeding by pressing her hand against the wound.
The man was breathing. She called him her best friend, brother and uncle.
Two other officers ran up to the front to help me. When I see them stop, I turn around andTrademarkiaTrademarkiaTrademarkiaTrademarkiaTrademarkiaTrademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,TrademarkiaTrademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,Trademarkia,
She could see the man who shot Courts. He had a gun that looked like an AK-47.
The Shelton High School graduate decided to quit nursing school in order to become a police officer in the big city.
In a telephone interview, she said she was not leaving him. I'm not going to run. He's still breathing in my hands.
She used her body to protect the courts.
The man knew that he could fire again. His major organs would be protected by my vest.
She put her head down.
All of my trust in my life was in those two other officers.
Ehmani Davis would be shot and killed by the police.
As the last shot was fired, I felt that Loren was going to die.
Detroit Police Chief James White said that Davis wanted police to kill him. The patrol car was hit by a bullet while Courts was driving.
White said that she was going to die to save her partner.
According to a story in the Detroit Free Press, White said that she was a hero.
It's hard for her to hear that she's a hero. She repeats something her therapist said.
You're not God, you're a hero, that's right. I did everything I could to saveLoren. God is the only person who could bring backLoren.
She and courts were realistic. It is not safe to do it. They were assigned to respond to shootings and carjackings. She did not kill the man who rammed her patrol car, but she did shoot him.
They kept their families' numbers in their phones. He called his father, a retired Detroit police officer.
Lorenz has been shot.
Her mother never thought she would become a police officer, even though she was the kind of person who set her mind to something and did it.
She always said she was moving out of Shelton, but I didn't think she would be a police officer.
When she thinks about how her daughter is called a hero, her heart is split in two.
In a text message, Johnson said that he was proud of her for staying strong and trying to save her partner's courts. It's sad that I could have lost my daughter with him.
It was by chance that he ended up in Detroit. Her mother wanted her to become a nurse, so she went along with it. She fell in love with the job after observing officers on a ride-along.
She said, "Don't stop believin'," which starts with the line, "Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world." The midnight train was taken by her.
There are 620,000 people in the city of Detroit. Shelton is an 80 mile drive from Seattle.
He wanted to go to a large city. I wanted to change things. Being from Shelton, a lot of people want to do something different.
She set an example for her daughters to follow when there was something else motivating her.
"Don't be afraid to do something different and out of your comfort zone." Don't stay because it's nice.
Fred Johnson said that she was a fierce competitor in high school sports and that she wanted to be the best in her field. She ended up clashing with college-level players on the court at the basketball camp she was taken to. She sent him a picture of herself.
Fred Johnson said that she didn't bother him. She didn't care who she was facing. She did everything she could. That is how we introduced her.
On the first day of the academy, she met Courts. She might have been shaking. The academy was similar to a military one.
She said that everyone was yelling at you. My hometown is a small town. They never do that to you there.
He said, "Hey, I'mLoren." You look very jittery.
The two became friends with a group of other officers at the academy.
Courts told her to keep going. "You have this, you have this."
They both wanted to be the best and ended up competing against each other in physical drills and tests.
While working the streets, she discovered she had a knack for quickly shooting scenes.
That is my food.
They became partners after Courts told her there was an opening.
Courts had an interest in photography, she said. The friendship between two Los Angeles police officers is the subject of End of Watch.
Courts took a picture of the two sitting in their scout car as a tribute to the movie.
She said that they were copying that picture.
After the shooting, he was transferred to the department's homicide division. She is a teacher at the academy and has gone on patrol a few times.
She wants to stay in law enforcement.
She said it was a call. If I stopped I would be kicked in the butt.
