While no words can truly express the heartfelt condolences that go out to the family of Lt. Shuhandler, we do keep them in our thoughts and prayers in hopes to bring them comfort. I never met Lt. Shuhandler, but I have met many Police Officers from Gilbert and the surrounding areas. I have always been impressed by their professionalism and dedication to duty. May you rest in peace, find comfort in knowing that your assailants were apprehended and those you left behind unwillingly will be taken care of. Gone, but never forgotten are our brothers in arms that fight the daily struggle to keep free men free from violence and crime. God speed brother.
