On the morning of Friday, May 8, 1992, Atlanta Police Officer Randy John Schipani, 34, was killed during a traffic stop at the I-75 interchange on University Drive. Schipani, on duty in morning rush hour, initiated the stop on a vehicle with heavily tinted side and rear windows. He moved to the front of the car to see the driver; as he looked through the windshield a 15-year-old juvenile inside fired a handgun, fatally wounding the officer.

Schipani’s partner returned fire and the juvenile was killed. Investigators later determined the car had been stolen in Florida and that the teenager had planned to shoot a police officer. Schipani had served five years with the Atlanta Police Department after three years with the Birmingham Auxiliary Police Department and was survived by his wife, two brothers and a sister.

Does anyone have information about Schipani’s career or remembers that morning?
