The death of Officer Swasey reminds all LEO's that any call may be the last. I watched this scene unfold through out the day and was very saddened at the loss of life by someone who obviously has no regard for life. May you rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with your family, UCCS Police and the law enforcements agencies that responded to this call. My thoughts are also with the wounded LEO's and civilians who were targeted by this man.
