I cannot say whether this apparent prior crime is a fact and consequently do not have any details.

I deeply regret the loss of life of yet another officer.

Without knowing all the details of the stop, if the suspect was a known gang member or had prior violence against police officers the information in most cases would have been dispatched to the officer for his safety.

Yes, I hadn't thought of that.

I have been sick to my stomach all day and night. Knowing many young police officers because of my son-in-law, I feel a kinship. All I can think about is his young family and their pain.

They will be in my prayers for a long time.
