One of our local sheriff’s deputy was shot in the face

It happened this past Thursday. You probably heard it on the news. It has shocked our community. We knew of him, his niece works with Dan & I'm pretty sure they were customers of Dan's workplace too. He was a real likeable guy. I saw the funeral procession yesterday, it was one of the more amazing things I've seen in my life. Fire trucks blocked off some 35 intersections along Hwy US 1 for the funeral procession. Hundreds of people lined the streets to pay their respects, including myself. He was the 1st Moore County Deputy ever to be killed in the line of duty. My heart goes out to all who knew him, I hear he was a really wonderful man.

Sorry to hear that. He sounds like a decent guy.

A few months ago, one of our city cops got killed in the line of duty at a bojangles that I sometimes stop at on the way to work. One of the employees had a violent boyfriend, and he showed up waving a gun around. Police were called, a shootout went down behind the building, and the perp along with one cop were dead, while another was wounded.
