Dark Day For All Of Us...Four Officers Killed

Sgt. Mark Renninger, 39,
Officer Ronald Owens, 37,
Officer Tina Griswold, 40,
Officer Gregory Richards, 42.

The entire nation is praying for the families of the four fallen Lakewood, WA police officers. I called my daughter's today to see if my son-in-law, an officer himself, had gone to Lakewood for the manhunt. I also was hoping my grandchildren were not watching the coverage that I knew was on TV. Children of cops should not have greater cause to worry.

Let us all remember the families in our prayers. There are lessons to be learned, help to be given, regulations to be reset...but for now we mourn.

If the assailant lives... the Pierce County Prosecutor will not wait to ask for the death penalty.
