I live up here amongst the ‘Barn fans. This area has been through a lot, as of late. A few months ago Lee county had a tornado that took 23 lives. More have died since due to injury. No more news coverage for that though. It is still a total war zone where is struck. So much devastation. My wife has been working with victims to help them put their lives back together.
Last week 3 Auburn police officers shot. One died on the scene. A friend of mine is close to one of the surviving cops. That officer is badly wounded and is really shaken up emotionally. I saw another officer in church on Sunday and he just had tears pouring from his eyes. So sad. A few months prior we had “another officer” shot in the face but thank, God survived. The shooter did not fair so lucky when the police caught up to him. For the record, this last shooter surrendered and in custody. But his mug shot tells the story. They beat the tar outta that guy when they found him. Auburn is typically a good and safe place... but that totals to four officers shot in less than 12 months. Then THIS happens. There is a lot of grieving in the community right now.
