\"Allen<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

In Greenville, South Carolina, Officer Allen Lee Jacobs was attempting to talk with 17-year-old Deontea Perry Marckey, a known gang member. While Jacobs was walking towards the home, Marckey rounded a corner and shot the officer before he could draw his gun. Marckey then went on the run, finaly calling his mother just before he killed himself to avoid capture. <\/p>\n

It turns out that Officer Jacobs was also an Iraq veteran from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, according to Go Heroes<\/a>;<\/p>\n

[Jacob’s friend Lee] Vining and Jacobs met at Fort Bragg while serving in the U.S. Army. Jacobs, who joined the military at 17, was a decorated veteran who fought in the Iraq War.<\/p>\n

When Vining and his family transitioned from the military, he said they struggled with finding a place to live. That\u2019s when Jacobs took them in.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have four kids and dogs,\u201d Vining said. \u201cHe\u2019s one of the few people who offered to take on a large family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacobs also support the family when Vining was diagnosed with cancer in the military. The two played spades almost every week and Vining said he doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s going to do without him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a father and a husband and a best friend and a spades player,\u201d Vining said. \u201cI mean, he\u2019s my partner in spades, we play almost every week\u2026 What do you do now?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
