blue thunder for the first responders
Improving The Quality of Life Of The First Responder
This organization is made up of TRAINED first responders (FIRE, POLICE, MEDICAL PERSONNEL) who are dedicated in helping other first responders with STRESS/PTSD (PEER TO PEER TEAM SUPPORT.)
This will give the first responders a place to relax in a stress-free environment and talk with other first responders that have been in the same situation or a situation of their own.
This organization has been receiving overwhelming support from the public, companies and other first responders. We greatly appreciate all the help that you give.
What is so unique about this program is that it will be mostly conducted on a boat/vessel so the first responder does not feel enclosed, and that it will give him or her a chance to connect with nature and talk at the same time. This program will be extended to the family members, as well as the first responder.

Texarkana PD warn of fake ‘baby found’ post on social media
Originally published on ktbs.com, part of the BLOX Digital Content Exchange.
TEXARKANA, Texas —The Texarkana Texas Police Department recently advised the public on its Facebook page that a fake social media post was circulating.
The picture depicts two police officers holding, looking and smiling at a baby.
The post reads, “BREAKING UPDATE: A newborn baby has been found by the police this morning here in #texarkana. Let us flood our feeds and help identify who this newborn belongs to.”
TTPD reports that the fake post appears on local marketplace pages, and nothing about it is true.
However, police said last week that the post had been shared over 160 times as if people believed in the claim.
The same fake report has also been circulated on other cities’ social media accounts by simply changing the city's name in the post.
TTPD assures citizens that if something like this were truly happening in Texarkana, the public would hear about it directly on their Facebook page and from the local media.
Migrant shoots Texas officer during domestic violence call
Officer was shot after police responded to domestic violence call
By Taylor Delandro, Jorge Ventura
(NewsNation) — A migrant living in the United States illegally shot and wounded a Texas police officer during a domestic violence call in San Antonio on Sunday, officials confirmed to NewsNation.
Jorge Chacon-Gutierrez, a 25-year-old Venezuelan national, died in the shootout with San Antonio Police Department officers, Fox News reported.
Police Chief William McManus said officers responded to the domestic violence call around 3 a.m. in the 1300 block of Patricia Drive and learned that a woman in her 20s had been assaulted by her boyfriend. He said SWAT was on the scene.
“When officers went into the apartment, he was lying in bed with a rifle by his side and he started shooting at the officers. The officers returned fire and exited the apartment. One of our officers was shot multiple times, and she is currently in the hospital,” McManus said while giving an update on the scene.
He added that the SWAT team entered the apartment and found the suspect dead after the shooting, though it’s unclear if officers killed him or if he died by suicide.
Three officers were involved in the initial shooting, and the woman was not seriously injured, McManus said.
Law enforcement discovered that Chacon-Gutierrez was arrested by Border Patrol after crossing illegally into Eagle Pass, Texas, in November 2023, according to Fox News. He was released into the U.S. with a court date set for April 2026.
