    So sad and unfortunate. I talk to a very upstanding officer on my way out of the area I asked about what happened and I was concerned because of the yellow tape surrounding the place. This usually means something terrible has happened and again unfortunately it did. I wish the man that was shot a quick recovery and the brother the best as well. This is a good family and so sorry this has happened prayers for all.
