Pit In My Stomach

July6

I have a pit in my stomach. A friend of ours, who is retired from the state police and was twice the sheriff of our county, had a tragedy befall his family. His son David, age 41, was also a state policeman until yesterday when he stopped to help a motorist and the man pulled out a shotgun and killed him. The gunman then turned the gun on himself and committed suicide.

Our town is in shock. You know that when they are in law enforcement that this can happen. You just hope it never does.

      That is horrible! I will keep your friend and his family in my prayers. No one should ever to lose a child, no matter what their age.

      What an awful thing. It’s hard to understand how things like this can even happen. Very, very sorry that your community is going through this.
