ANNISTON, Ala. (AP) — The mother of an Anniston police officer who was shot while on duty says her son is being kept alive by machines so that his organs can be donated to others.
Jeniffer Morris tells The Anniston Star that her son Justin Sollohub loved being a police officer. She says the 27-year-old Sollohub didn't want to sit in an office.Sollohub was shot in the head during a foot case on Wednesday.
Authorities say 25-year-old Joshua Eugene Russell is being held in the shooting, with bond set at $420,000. He is currently charged with attempted murder, and that charge could be upgraded.
Calhoun County Sheriff Larry Amerson says Russell was transferred to nearby Etowah County to make sure he is treated fairly.
