Reflections for Investigator William "Alden" Elliott
On behalf of the 68 dedicated volunteers associated with POINT 27 across the United States, we would like to offer condolences for Investigator William Alden Elliott. Please know we are eternally grateful for William’s service and his ultimate sacrifice.
To honor Investigator Elliott, POINT 27 sent 27 Thin Blue Line Dog Tag Necklaces, engraved with “Blessed are the Peacemakers for they will be called children of God” Matthew 5:9, to the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction in Raleigh, North Carolina for William’s partner and his fellow officers. POINT 27 also sent a Folded Flag Necklace engraved with “Greater Love has no one than this; than to lay down one’s life for one’s friend” John 15:13 for Investigator William Alden Elliott’s wife.
POINT 27 is a Non-Profit organization with a mission to strengthen and encourage members of the Armed Forces, First Responders, and their families, by sharing scripture on Dog Tags and Jewelry called Shields of Strength.
We will never forget and we are forever grateful.

As a friend and former co-worker, Alden loved what he did, being in the field and keeping the community safe. The only thing he loved more was his wife and son. Thank you for your service brother, we'll take it from here. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend". John 15:13

Last night me and my military friends lamented over this! I’m so very hurt and horrified. We figured the shooter was probably ex-military, bc of the armor piercing bullets—NOT available to the public artillery market, and probably a Marine.
My heart ❤️ goes out to the law enforcement officers
