Virginia State University (VSU) Police Officer Bruce Foster, 38, was shot on November 12.

He had chased down a suspect who was causing an early Sunday morning disturbance on campus.

Officer Foster was shot from behind while making the arrest.  He remains hospitalized and paralyzed from the waist down.

The five-year veteran of the VSU Police Department has a wife and four children.

This Thanksgiving, each of our readers can help him and his family through this.

    While I no longer live in VA, I still follow BR and listen to WRVA every morning. Shot from behind while performing his duties and now paralyzed from the waist down! He has been in my thoughts over the last few days so thank you for this post. I will be donating.

    I donated generously earlier this week. Please keep this family in mind over the holidays. He has a long road ahead of him.
