At approximately 8:15 Sunday morning, a man walked into Forza Coffee in Parkland, Wash. and shot and killed four Lakewood police officers who were getting ready for their morning shift.
I’m not going to go into the details of what happened. You can read them here.
What I will say is that it is a sad day in western Washington. Only one month ago — almost to the day — Seattle Police Officer Timothy Brenton was also shot and killed in the line of duty. Add the shooting at Fort Hood and I just have to say it’s a sad day for this country.
Now, I personally didn’t know Officer Brenton, any of the soldiers from Fort Hood or the four officers who were killed today. Nor do I personally know anybody in law enforcement or the military. But I can honestly say my heart goes out to their families and loved ones during these times — especially with the holiday season just around the corner. I can’t even imagine what they are going through right now.
