OF THE
TIMES
"The dog startled the officer. The officer began shooting at the dog. The officer was still shooting when he fell down in the snow," one witness explained.Autumn Mae Steele was taken by ambulance to a hospital where she later died from the injury.
"It appeared he was shooting at the dog when (the officer) fell to the ground. It's my belief the woman was shot accidentally," said another witness.
Seconds after the shooting another Burlington officer arrived on the scene and both officers tried to calm Gabriel Steele, who wanted to help his wife.
"I'm a combat veteran," he screamed. "What are you guys (police) doing? Let me help."
All of us served in the French army as mountain shooters and we believe that we've done enough for our country, much more than the average French person would do, and yet we've not received any special recognition for it. France doesn't look after its military...So when we left France we didn't look back, but instead searched for something of our own, something entrenched in tradition and ideology. It is a classic literary scenario: leave everything in the past and start life again from scratch...
