Many leave lights on for wounded Lake City officer

PositiveLeo — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 00:31:58 +0000

The family of a Lake City police officer who was shot in the head while responding to a domestic call asked that community members leave their porch lights on as a tribute to the father of three, who remained in critical condition Tuesday.

Shawn Schneider, 32, was shot Monday when responding to a domestic situation at a house on West Lyon Avenue in Lake City. The suspect went back into the house after the shooting, prompting an hours-long standoff with authorities, who entered the house and found the suspect dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

Police Chief Gary Majchrzak said late Monday that Schneider was showing some signs of response — such as holding his wife’s hand — but was not talking. A spokeswoman at St. Marys Hospital in Rochester would only say his condition was critical Tuesday, adding that the family asked that other information remain private.

Caitlin Woody was issued something other than a ticket.

Like other Prosper, Texas drivers, she was handed a gift card as a reward for good driving.

“Maybe they noticed they had a safe speed coming into a parking lot, their inspection was up to date or they were using the safety belts in the vehicles,” said Gary McHone, Prosper’s Assistant Police Chief, of the officer’s choice of drivers.

The 36-year-old woman, who has not been identified, drove into the canal at 7:46 a.m. and called 911. She described to dispatchers her ordeal: her car was sinking into the muck and she could not swim, said Palm Beach County Sheriff’s spokesman Teri Barbera.
