Officer Burns and another officer began to setup spike strips on the roadway. When the stolen vehicle approached the strips, he struck the first police car, injuring the officer, and then rammed the SUV broadside into Officer Burns' vehicle, killing him.
The suspect has been charged with murder.
Evan Burns had been a member of the Caruthersville Police Department for two years. Evan is unmarried but has a one year old son.
Police officials stated that his death was a devastating blow to the Department.
Pray for all who die in the line of duty.
Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Evan Burns is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
