The fire started before noon, after a pickup truck driver ran a red light and T-boned the van at Jackson and Commerce, deputies said. All of the deputies and inmates in the van were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Fayette County Sheriff Keith Korenek said in a statement Monday that Deputy Calvin "CJ" Lehmann, a 32-year-old single father of three girls, lost his left eye as a result of a shotgun blast to the face, and that doctors were still trying to save his right eye.

Historically, lone wolves have been able to avoid arrest for longer periods of time than terrorists who act in groups.

Their anger is all over social media for the whole world to see, with rants about minorities, relationships gone bad or paranoid delusions about perceived slights.

From the 1980s to the present day, many of the field's most influential scholars have lamented that a majority of articles rely on literature review-based methodologies and do not present any new, first-hand insights. Instead of authors talking with (former) terrorists, perusing the archives of counter-terrorism agencies, administering psychological tests to extremists, or engaging in fieldwork, they have mostly resorted to talking among themselves.

The decision to seek mental health counseling can be a difficult one. Issues of pride can be an obstacle, particularly for first responders, because the appearance of weakness or being ineffective in their problem-solving abilities may illicit feelings of shame or inadequacy.

Police dogs have always helped their human counterparts through their eyes and nose, and now some of the dogs are getting their own backup — cameras that transmit live video. The devices generally attach to dogs' backs on a vest and transmit video to a handler watching from a screen, possibly on their wrist or around their necks. It's so the officers can better assess what they are up against before they go into a situation.
