This HERO almost gave his life for you. On a Sunday, April 2005 officer Phil Murphy responsed to a backup call for immediate help on a domestic violence dispute. Upon arrival he found Officer Barry Neilsen in danger. The suspect had somehow gotten ahold of Officer Neilsen's gun. He shot off a few rounds that went into the adjoining apartment. Officer Murphy held the gun to suspects head and told him he could kill him if he wanted to. The suspect then got ahold of Phil's gun while he was attempting to handcuff him. The gun went off and shot Phil in the chest. It missed his armor by 1/4 of a inch. The bullet lodged in his spine, 1/4 inch from his spinal cord. More back up arrived and Office Long shot the suspect with a taser. If the officer had not had a taser, he could not have gotten off a shot, because everybody was rolling around on the ground, and he could not get a clear shot. I am so thankful my brother-in law Phil survived his incident. We all love him so!
