To the family, friends and co-workers, my prayers are with you. My son was killed by another officer in January, and life will never be the same. The tears still flow like it was yesterday. The only saving grace in all of this is that I know that Clint would not have traded jobs with anyone. He would spend all of his time with us talking about all of the officers he worked with or all of his police work, which I loved. I bet Deputy Johns was the same way, loved what he was doing.
Thank you Deputy Johns you gave your all. Your family will miss you every day, but we will never forget you...
Tell Clint that we miss him...

Having just gone through a deputy sheriff dying due to an accidental gunshot, we know firsthand the shock and pain are just as horrific if not more so than at the hands of another.
