It’s My Imagination

Homocide – Allen Texas

I realize that these things happen in most cities around the country, but this time it was in the park right next to my daughter’s school.  This article is direct from the Allen, Texas police blotter.

On Wednesday, November 18, 2009, at approximately 1820 hours, Allen Police
Department and the Allen Fire Department responded to an Emergency Medical
Call/Possible Assault at Ford Park, 630 Park Place Drive. When officers arrived,
they observed the victim, later identified as Agha “Faran” Khan, A/M, DOB: 03-31-
1988 to have what appeared to be a puncture wound caused by an unknown type
weapon. A bystander was performing CPR on the victim. Allen Fire Department
paramedics relieved the bystander and continued to perform CPR on the victim.
Khan was transported to Medical Center Plano where he was later pronounced
deceased by Dr. Regina Rivera at approximately 1934 hours.

Investigators from the Criminal Investigation Division were called to the scene and
have classified the incident as a homicide. Preliminary investigation revealed that
patrons of the park observed the victim lying on the ground and called 9-1-1. An
autopsy has been ordered and will be conducted by the Collin County Medical
Examiner’s Office.

Shooting at Fort Hood Texas

It’s been on the news all afternoon, tidbits of information about a deadly shooting at Ft. Hood, the largest U.S Army installation in the free world.

According to the AP, at least one shooter was killed after killing 9 and injuring more than 20 more.  There are 2 additional suspects/accomplices in custody.  A civilian police officer was apparently among those killed.

This is a very sad day in Texas and for all of America.  I will certainly be interested in hearing more about the shooter and the other 2 suspects as to their motives.
