Officer Cynthia
French of Los Angeles, California
On
December 31, 1998, Officer French and two fellow officers responded to
a call regarding a man with a rifle behaving erratically. The man, James
McCracken, had a history of violent behavior and possessed a deadly arsenal
of weapons. French was shot five times, sustaining serious injuries to
her hip and liver. Despite her wounds, she was able to fire back at McCracken
when he began shooting at her fellow officers. French survived and is now
back at work.
