I lived the majority of my life in Birmingham, and now, as a police officer in the atlanta area, I am constantly aware of the real threat of loss of life, and health in what we do. It is still, such a shock, and loss, when something so senseless as this happens to one of the so fiew, whom have sworn to do what we do. I am so sorry for your loss to the family and friends.

All is well,
