Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

To the family of Deputy Howell:

We were sickened and disraught to hear the news of Deputy Howell. We had just commented in April that it seemed like the killings of police officers were leveling off, and then bang, bang, bang, band....four officers dead in a matter of days, two shot and killed, like our son. May you have some solice in knowing you are in our thoughts and prayers during these terrible, dark days. May the love of our Lord and savior hold you and comfort you. We know Christopher was waiting for Deputy Howell. God Bless you!
