 <![CDATA[Just days ago the DC Generals completed a memorial game and ceremony for the fallen officers we have lost in recent years in conjunction with National Police Week. Never had we thought that in the wake of that memorial we would lose yet another officer in the DC Metro area. Trooper 1st Class Shaft S. Hunter of the Maryland State Police was killed during a high speed chase on I-95 in Maryland. He was a friend to several members of the DC Generals and he will be greatly missed. Funeral arrangements will be posted as they become available. &nbsp;Story from the Washington Post:A Maryland State Police trooper died early Saturday on Interstate 95 in Howard County after his cruiser struck a tractor-trailer parked on the highwayâs shoulder, police said.Trooper 1st Class Shaft S. Hunter, 39, an 11-year police veteran and father of six children ages 4 to 19, died at the scene in the southbound lanes of I-95 near the Laurel rest area, police said. Southbound I-95 was closed for about six hours after the 2:40 a.m. crash.Police said a witness saw the trooper following a speeding motorcycle moments before he crashed into the back of the tractor-trailer parked near the entrance ramp of the rest area.The truck driver, Albert Sandino, 46, of California was not injured. He had been parked for about 15 minutes as he checked for directions, police said. Sandino was pulling a trailer of household bleach from Aberdeen, Md., to Virginia, police said.No citations have been issued, but the investigation is continuing, said police spokeswoman Elena Russo. The motorcycle rider, described only as wearing a white helmet, has not been located, she said.Hunter, who lived in Baltimore County, worked out of the state police barracks in Jessup and had been a captain in the Marine Corps, police said. His death, which came at the end of National Police Week honoring fallen officers, marked the 43rd Maryland State Police official killed in the line of duty.Col. Terrence B. Sheridan, superintendent of the Maryland State Police, called Hunter âan outstanding trooper who was known for his dedication to duty.â...]]>

 <![CDATA[Again a reminder of why the Generals play.Story from WUSA 9 News DC:WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA)--A DC Police officer is recovering from surgery after being shot by a 15 year old early Saturday morning.The incident occurred in the back of a house located on the 700 block of Crittenden NE, according to Chief Cathy Lanier."Around 5:10 this morning, officers were called for a disturbance," she explained.   "While en route to that call, a couple of other calls came from that address. The call then changed to a man with a gun. As the officers arrived on the scene,  some of the officers aproached the rear of the house.  The suspect mounted a second floor awning and ambushed the officers."A 27-year old officer described as a 5 year veteran and a DC native was shot three times after the suspect allegedly fired his gun at least 5 times."One of rounds penetrated underneath the vest and went through his shoulder," said Lanier.  "One round went into his neck and one round was stopped by his bulletproof vest."Police said the teen was not struck by any bullets, contrary to the initial reports given. "He had a minor injury that does not appear to have anything to do with gunfire," said Lanier. After allegedly shooting at the officer, the teen ran from police and hid under a nearby porch.  Police said it was there where they found him. They also recovered the weapon.The teen, who is still unidentified remains in police custody. He is charged with assault with intent to kill and will make his first court appearance on Monday morning....]]>

 	<title>POLICE WEEK MEMORIAL GAME FEATURED IN GAZETTE ARTICLE</title>

 <![CDATA[&nbsp;To read the story from the Gazette CLICK HERE.Football game scores victory for fallen police officersWheaton's Ayala among many honored at gameby Jeremy Arias | Staff WriterThe third quarter was winding down Saturday night in a scoreless tie between the DC Generals and the Atlanta Defenders as Generals quarterback Russell Jackson lined up behind center, his eyes fixed on the end zone not 5 yards away.A light rain began to fall on the Generals' home field at George Mason High School in Falls Church, Va., as Jackson took the snap, feinted, and then sprinted for the end zone ... straight into the waiting arms of an Atlanta linebacker.The crowd roared, and a flurry of whistles rang out as the referees scrambled to break apart the mountain of players that had piled on top of the others. A single arm struck through the midst of the chaos; the ball still clutched firmly in Jackson's hand as the referee signaled for a touchdown.The Generals went on to win on Jackson's touchdown, 7-0.The score could not have come in a bigger game: the annual Police Week Memorial Game, which marks the end of National Police Week â May 8 through 15, this year â said Generals President Tom Dufek, who also is a Montgomery police detective.Every year teams from around the National Public Safety Football League send in their requests to play in the memorial game. It's hosted by the Generals, the home team for police, firefighters and other public safety officials in the D.C. Metropolitan area, including Montgomery and Prince George's counties."Guys that come here want to be able to go down to D.C. to visit the memorial, take part in the festivities and bring their families into town, because it's a way to honor those who you have lost," Dufek said of the memorial game. "As far as the league goes, this game is pretty much the pinnacle."Everything about the game was designed to honor the police officers whose names were added to the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial in D.C. earlier this week, even down to a pair of stickers placed on the backs of each of the players' helmets that bore the initials of Montgomery County Police Sgt. Hector I. Ayala and Prince George's County Cpl. Thomas P. Jensen, both of whom died in car accidents in the line of duty in 2010.Formed from a rag-tag, seven-man squad on a rainy Saturday in spring of 2006, the Generals entered the league in 2007 and have grown exponentially each year, boasting a roster of about 60 players, Dufek said. Players come from all around Maryland, Virginia and the District, added Vice President Matt Newman, a Maryland State Trooper who plays tight end."I've made maybe 30 or 40 friends [on the team] who I otherwise would never have met," Newman said, adding his friendships also have helped him professionally. "I can call them up anytime, for anything, like if we're looking for somebody I can call someone up in another jurisdiction and say, âHey, do you know who this guy is?'"Beyond friendship â and of course, the love of the game â many players joined the team out of dedication to their fallen comrades, said Jackson, a Prince George's County police officer who works in the District 3 Palmer Park station."We've lost a lot of officers since I've been on [the force], three that I can remember within [Prince George's] County, so for me I can't explain how exciting it is for me to be able to put on this uniform and play just for that reason alone," Jackson said at the team's Friday practice.All of the team's revenue from ticket sales, money raised from concessions and outside fundraisers goes toward one of two charities: Concerns of Police Survivors and the D.C. Firefighters Burn Foundation, Dufek said. Last year, the team raised $2,500 for each charity, and this year the team hopes to continue raising money past the end of the regular season in June by hosting a youth football camp, Dufek added.At halftime of the game Saturday, representatives from each area police agency that lost an officer in 2010 received team helmets from Dufek, including Kristelle Jensen, the wife of the late Cpl. Jensen."It's a very huge honor, because I am doing everything possible to keep [my husband's] memory going, so for them to recognize me and recognize any officer's family, spouse, children, sisters, bothers, anybody, it's a huge honor," she said after presiding over the opening coin toss at Saturday's game. "My husband was actually going to play on the team. ... I'm going to be coming out to all the games from now on."jarias@gazette.net...]]>
