    On the way to the headquarters in their personal vehicle, a Rome Police sergeant and bomb squad member collided with another vehicle driven by 66-year-old Tammie Pickelsimer.

    A Georgia State Patrol spokesperson said the traffic incident is still under investigation, but according to the initial findings, Pickelsimer’s 2002 Mazda Protege pulled out of a Rome parking lot into the path of the officer’s 2015 GMC Sierra truck. The officer applied the brakes but the truck struck the Mazda near the driver’s side front door. Pickelsimer was taken to a hospital where she died from her injuries. The officer suffered minor injuries and has been released from the hospital

    1. clickbait. The lady was not associated with or even anywhere near the purported bomb.

    2)…wanna bet the cop was driving at a high rate of speed, in a vehicle without lights and sirens?

            I don’t have a cat, so take this instead… shamelessly ripped off c/cats (rocket may have been good for a few shared chuckles on my end. Compliments of PugJesus)
