Veteran’s Story: Relationship to Veteran: Read about him in a 1998 AP report.I read about this in an AP article by Todd Lewan about suicide by cops. I type with one hand so I won’t retype it if you already have a copy. If you don’t I will retype it. QUESTION: I remember reading about another suicide by cop but I can’t remember where. Northeast? The facts are a black, Vietnam veteran, Medal of Honor Winner, a truck driver, won it because his truck was slow and missed the ambush. When he drove up, he went crazy and wiped out the attackers. Came back robbed a store and shot it out with a couple of cops. Any idea who this guy was? Thanks, tombaxter@medscape.com
