A slain Alaska police officer told his children that he feared he would get shot, just hours before he was hit during a gun battle with a career criminal.
Fairbanks police Sgt. Allen Brandt died on Friday, two weeks after he was shot five times in the legs while responding to reports of gunfire.
Earlier that evening, he read a story to his four children with his wife on their bed, and told them: ‘I think I’m going to get shot tonight.’
He died Friday from complications from an eye surgery, the Alaska Dispatch News reported.
Brandt, an 11-year veteran, was protected from a shot to the chest by his body armor — but bullet fragments struck his eye, police said.
Brandt survived by his wife and their four children. A candlelight vigil was held Friday at the Fairbanks Police Department.
‘Fairbanks lost a hero today,’ said Brad Johnson, acting chief at the Fairbanks Police Department.
He added: ‘Our community, this department, our family and our friends are hurting. We thank you for all the support you have given us so far, and we ask you for more, for his family, for your department and for yourselves.
‘Let’s help each other heal and work through this together.’
Johnson said Brandt went into surgery on Thursday but his condition ‘continued to deteriorate through the day,’ the Alaska Dispatch News reported.

“… told them: ‘I think I’m going to get shot tonight.’
‘Twasn’t deja vu, ’twas karma he foresaw that killed the beastie.
“Court documents say Jenkins-Alexie opened fire on Brandt, took his gun, stomped on his head and taunted him as the officer stood and tried to get away.”
So… he basically did what pigs do to us on a daily basis.
GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!!
Karma, B#TCH!!!

Revolution, beeyotch!!!
Good riddance to another mercenary orc.
I do feel bad for the kids…ESPECIALLY the kids of all the unfortunate souls who were imprisoned for victimless acts, or on trumped-up charges, by this turd or his “brothers.”
I love how they try to drag your emotions into it by saying this poor lop of sh*t is a father of four. What kind of father can he be after a night of theft, murder, extortion, subversion of the law of the land, aiding and abetting of stolen property, drug dealing and God knows what else. Tomorrow they’ll go ahead and close down the whole city, get all the gang banging cops together in a row and march down the street signing autographs with bagpipes a blasting with their heads down, crying, looking for sympathy from all the spineless assholes on the sidewalk watching this sh*t. At the same time, the bullsh*t news agency will blast this nonsense all over the F-ing TV, looking for suckers to send lots of $ to some Go fund me account. F#ck that!
You hit the nail right on the head. Awesome post.
