Police Officer Peter Grignon Louisville Metro Police Department, Kentucky End of Watch: March 23, 2005 Age: 28 Badge Number: 6338 Years on The Job: 2 Cause of Death: Shot and killed   Officer Peter Grignon, 28, was called to the 2600 block of Accasia Drive, where there was a report of a vehicle in a front yard. By the time Grignon arrived, the car was gone, but upon investigating, he found the car on fire in a field about two blocks away. Near that scene is where Grignon found two men at about 6:35 a.m. One man shot Grignon, who was shot in the neck and the mouth. Neighbors would later say they heard someone saying, "Don't shoot. Don't shoot," but it's not clear who said that. One of the men turned his gun on himself and killed himself, police said. The second man was taken into police custody and was being questioned. Grignon just got married in October and was with Metro Police for two years. His father's birthday is today. Grignon died on the operating table.  Agency Information: Louisville Metro Police Department 768 Barret Ave Louisville, KY 40204 Phone: 502-574-7452 Submit a Condolences Subscribe to Officer Down E-Mail Alerts     This is the pickup truck that was found burned a couple blocks away from the original call to which Grignon responded.     Police cars pass fire trucks along the west bound side of Interstate 64 as it is closed for the funeral procession of Louisville Police officer Peter Alan Grignon, as they make their way to Cave Hill Cemetery for his burial.

I was probably one of the last people to see Officer Grignon alive. I will never forget that day as long as I live. I drove past him as he approached the 2 boys that morning. I never would of thought that something like that would of happened. Everyday I drive by that spot and remember what happened that morning. I know that Officer Grignon is in a better place now. I pray that the family is doing ok. You are in my prayers.

My prayers are with his family, God bless them, because the only way that Peter can be with them now is by spirit, but sometimes, that is the best way of all.
