AMARILLO and Canyon, Texas (KFDA) - In the age of active shooters, Amarillo law enforcement wants to remind citizens about three principles: Avoid, Deny and Defend.
“Avoid means, run away, get out of that target zone,” said Sergeant Robert Huddleston at Potter County Sheriff’s Office. “The other is get behind a lock door and then find another way out, if possible, and secure yourself. The last thing is to defend yourself by any means available, if necessary.”
Over the past several years, police across our area has been offering what’s called, Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events or CRASE training to businesses, churches and individuals with the goal to empower the community.

There was no cause for celebration today in the law enforcement community. In a moment of silence that echoed across the great State of Texas, lawmen of all rank recognized the loss of one of their own and honored the exceptional final act of service made by slain State Trooper Chad Walker.
The announcement for the fallen trooper s End of Watch was a poignant moment of reflection for all. Chad Walker was on duty when he pulled over to assist what he thought was a stranded motorist on the roadside near Groesbeck, a town just east of Waco and south of Mexia and barely a speck on the map. No sooner than Walker had put his patrol car in park had the driver exited the vehicle with a gun drawn, shooting the state trooper point blank without provocation.
