This is so sad. Here in Indianapolis we are going through something similar. I'm sure it happens everywhere, but my heart goes out to the family and the community.

I agree with anonymous... You people need to let the judge decide on what happens with these men... after looking at the backgrounds of the both of them the judge will see that Christopher Redondo is at fault!! The other male was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time... What makes me upset is knowing that alot of innocent human beings go down for a crime that an inconsiderate selfish peace of crap human being won't own up to!! The people dealing with this case really need to look into the history of both men so they dont make the mistake of putting an innocent man behind bars!!!!!

You can tell by the photo the guy is trouble. So ladies .... still against carrying a gun? You need one around with idiots like these guys!

It is hard to hear about a man who devoted his life to public service and keeping my family safe dieing because of a man who should have never been let out of jail in the first place.

This is beyond sad. This hero spent almost 2 decades serving, protecting and giving of himself for our families and our community.

That is a terrible loss of life. What a waste.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Whenever I hear about these brave officers who give so much to protect us and keep us safe I'm reminded of that.

It's too bad...Chris Redondo used to call himself a Christian. I knew him when I was a kid he went to the same church as me in Globe. He was even in ministry. I remember he was rappin' for Christ. Hopefully he'll give his heart back to Christ before the needle gets him. GOD bless the officer and his family.......big loss.

And let's not forget what happened to those two Texas Border Guards a few years ago who were arrested and sent to PRISON for shooting that drug dealer from Mexico who was fleeing across the border to escape arrest. Something is seriously wrong here.

you are so right!

we, as a nation, have lost our good ol' american common sense - common sense in the realm of justice , common sense in the realm of education, common sense in economics and opportunity.

in the name of being PC, we bend over backwards in order not to offend anyone - create absurd rules and institutions and fail to use common sense - we allow abhorant behavior to continue as we fail to hold many individuals responsible for their actions because some how the PC folks have determined our American system has failed those individuals.

Years ago, many Americans were described as the Slient Majority.

I believe it is time for this Silent Majority to re-assert its power and bring back common sense.

This is such a sad story. I hope these pieces of trash get what they have coming to them. It's always a sad time when we loose someone who devotes their life to protecting ours. Makes you wonder why we let this trash back out of prison over and over.

Jay, I heard about the incident in the morning. I live in east Phoenix but when I was towing for 7 years in the east valley, Val Vista & Baseline was a frequent intersection. We only ever worked for MesaPD, MCSO, TempePD and DPS directly, never GilbertPD but one thing is true, all officers are brothers, fathers, sons, sisters, mothers, daughters and great and courageous for doing their best to protect us.

It truly is sad when one of them is taken from us.

It sickens me just as well. I'm a huge believer that everyone should be able to do whatever they want to do with their life but the minute that they hurt someone else or pose danger to others severe consequences should be put in place. If one doesn't have a good life that's ok but the fact that they take away someone else's is just RIDICULOUS. This for sure is very sad :-(

My condolences to his wife and kids.

Sadly, we are a society that goes out of its way to protect its criminals, NOT its victims. How else can you explain the justification for letting these two creeps back on the street?

So sad that a great man like this had to give his life so needlessly.

I am beyond freaked out by this.... I was actually at the Fry's right in that shopping mall when this was going down. My son worked at the Taco Bell where this happened. I have never thought twice about going to Fry's at 10:30 at night in my neighborhood. Usually the perps apprehended by Gilbert PD are teens out past curfew.

I listened to the chase last night until the signal faded as the chase continued on into Superior. I just could not believe it. I heard sirens as I was leaving the parking lot and never imagined it was any more than a minor traffic accident until I saw the news.

My utmost gratitude goes out to Lt Shuhandler for the ultimate sacrifice in making Gilbert a wonderful and safe place to live. All the officers who were involved in the chase that ensued after the shooting deserve kudos as well.

They should be burned at the stake...

Wrong place at the wrong time - you're an idiot. Both of them deserve the worst.

He deserves a heroes burial. He should be given that honor.

What church did Eric go to?

Unlike the media, the author of this blog was able to research and analyze the criminal backgrounds of those at fault. Hold judges accountable for their decisions, because repeat offenders are executing our finest men and women.

And let's not forget what happened to those two Texas Border Guards a few years ago who were arrested and sent to PRISON for shooting that drug dealer from Mexico who was fleeing across the border to escape arrest. Something is seriously wrong here.
