COVINGTON, Tenn. (AP) - Authorities are looking for two suspects this morning in the fatal shooting of a state trooper in West Tennessee.

Twenty-four-year-old Calvin Jenks was found fatally shot late last night in Tipton County north of Memphis. Hunters found Jenks' body lying beside his patrol car and notified authorities.

A spokesman from the state Department of Safety says footage from the patrol car's video camera shows the trooper pulling over two men in a compact car. He was trying to get them out of the car when he was shot twice, at least once in the head.

Authorities believe the two suspects were carrying drugs and headed toward Nashville after the shooting.

Jenks graduated from trooper school in April 2004 and was assigned to Marshall County in Middle Tennessee. But he transferred to the Tipton area in 2005 to be closer to his fiancee, who is in medical school in Memphis

Mexico!

This is prolly a direct result of the politics of Mexico.. If that government weren't ruled by the dealers we would have far less drugs in our country.
But, like Irac, there is little our elected officials are willing to do to get the REAL job done.
Until we are willing to eleminate the KNOWN bad guys both countries will continue to do as they are now.
As long as we are the big dog in this world we should carry and use the big stick..

I agree. Betsy.
I was shocked to find out how both sides of the Goverment, especially here, uses children in their games. No matter how abused and negleced the child is/was.
