On September 1, 2009 Patrolman Chad Spicer was shot and killed as he and his   
partner attempted to stop a vehicle that had been involved in a shooting a short
time earlier.  The suspect's vehicle suddenly stopped and the patrol car came
to a stop next to it. A rear-seat passenger in the suspect vehicle fired a single
shot from inside the vehicle, striking Ptlm. Spicer in the face. A ricochet from
the round also struck his partner in the neck.

The shooter and the driver of the vehicle fled on foot while a third passenger
remained on the scene and attempted to provide medical aid to the two officers. 
The suspect who fired the shot was arrested a short time later inside of a nearby
home. The second suspect turned himself in several days later.

Patrolman Spicer had served with the Georgetown Police Department for one year
and had previously served in law enforcement for three years. He is survived by his
daughter, parents, brother, two sisters, and fiancee.

Thjis onation will be directed to the Aubrey Spicer Trust, to benefit Chad's 3 year                           
old daughter Aubrey.
