Just read of this in the paper and only need to know 3 things about Agent Capano. Iraq Vet, Afghanistan Vet and when duty called he responded. Sad world, 66 officers downed by gunshot and approximately 18 during the month of December. Things are so bad that even the lowlifes are glad to see an Officer when they must call 911. RIP Agent Capano. Much Respect for your having paid the Ultimate price and my condolences to your family! A proud American that's proud of the job our Officers do to protect us at home! God Bless and RIP!
