This was really a sad story. My son (27 years old) is a police officer in Joliet, Illinois - a suburb south of Chicago. I worry about him every day. He told me that if anything happened to him, I should know he loved what he was doing. As a mother, it is sometimes hard to let go, but we have no choice. It is such a shame when someone who dedicates his life to helping others is hurt this way. So terrible.
