This sucks...

Montana State Trooper Wade Palmer is one of the guys risking his life in the video below, trying to help a woman and her kids who were broken down and then slammed into by an out of control 18 wheeler on an icy road.  Even after the accident, there are still cars sliding off the road and Palmer has to pull the hurt woman out of the way of another truck that nearly hits them both, thankfully everyone survived.  This guy and his partner are heroes, but what sucks is that Palmer was shot, and is now fighting for his life.  The full story is at the link below (also, there is a link in the article for his family's gofundme - edit - the link for gofundme at missoulian.com no longer works):
