A 25-Year-Old Concord Police Officer Shot and Killed Overnight
Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone in our own community this morning especially everyone in Concord as we mourn the loss of a law enforcement officer there killed in the line of duty. A second officer also reportedly hurt.
It happened near Concord Mills mall and there are little details at this moment. No names have been released. The suspect involved also shot and killed. Our hearts ache for everyone involved.
As the wife of someone who spent 25 years with the North Carolina Highway Patrol, I do not know what this family is going through but I do know how it feels when a loved one walks out the door each day. Not a day went by that I did not think about this kind of terrible tragedy. God bless this family. To learn more about this story here is the latest from Channel 9.
