Oh, beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And [justice] more than life!

My love and prayers to the family, friends, and colleagues of Officer Shinners. He is true hero and an inspiration to all freedom-loving people. Thank you for your service to the City of Provo and the State of Utah.
The world is a better and safer place because you were in it.
The world is darker and more dangerous because your life was taken away by a truly evil person in this horrific tragedy.
