Our deepest prayers go out to the family, friends and colleagues of this hero for their ultimate sacrifice of putting his/her life on the line for the safety of the community.

Officer Hornsby,
Rest well in the arms of God.
To Your Family,
Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.
Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray, “Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”
I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for over two years. Feel those prayers. God is with you, He knows and will ease your pain

For Police Officer Robert "Bobby: Hornsby:
The law-officer who confronts a deranged individual who is armed with a semi-automatic rifle is always at exceptionally high risk. We regret that Bobby would be the latest casualty in such a situation. We are thankful for those who assisted him and for bringing immediate halt to further risk to themselves and others. We stand in awe of their, and Bobby's courage, to defend others. We pray for his family, friends, co-workers, and all who care about him. May they be ready to reach-out to one another in the days ahead.
We are proud to render to Office Robert "Bobby" Hornsby, a soldier-of-the-law, a final salute.

I have laid down my life in service to all of you.
I have been a part of the fabric that has held the line between your safety and your victimization. I have given my life so that others may live in peace. I have lived my life as a dedicated member of the greatest profession. There is no greater honor.
As I now become a part of the rich history of law enforcement, please remember me always for I have left behind those who loved and depended upon me.
My partners and my agency, please remember my family, their loss, and don’t let time soften your compassion for them.
You guard the gate now and I will continue my watch from above.
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND MAY YOUR FAMILY FIND COMFORT IN THE GOOD YOU HAVE DONE HERE ON EARTH.
