On this day May 2, 2022, we were reminded just how quick calls for service can become very dangerous for law enforcement officers.

Around 2:30 am Officer Robinson responded to a suspicious person call on E. Street. Once on scene he saw a male and exited his patrol car to speak to the subject. Within minutes Officer Robinson would be shot in the neck.

We are thankful for the quick response from other officers, EMS personnel, Fire personnel, and 911 personnel. We are also thankful for the air medical team and Cabell Huntington Hospital for their excellent care.

Officer Robinson is a survivor that still has medical issues as a result of this unprovoked attack. We appreciate the service Retired Officer Robinson provided to the city and we continue to pray for him and his family.

Join us in sending positive thoughts and prayers to Officer Robinson, his family and the responders that assisted in his incident.
