I'm not sure what to say, except please pray if God puts this on your heart. Today, in Pittsburgh, 3 police officers were gunned down and killed and 2 more wounded. All three men had children....one was in his early 20's, only on the force a short time and has a new baby. One had been on the force for 15 years protecting our city and is leaving a wife and 6 children. According to the news, the gunman used an AK37 assault rifle, and said that he was afraid that President Obama would ban weapons....it sounded like that was his excuse for the shooting as he held his own mother hostage.
One of our good friends is in charge of that zone and those were his men. I spoke with his wife earlier, and ask for prayer as he does his duty in this case. My youngest brother-in-law is also a city police officer and due to be married over Labor day....please pray for all of our officers....for strength, bravery and most of all safety....for the families of the slain officers...for their children, wives, parents, loved ones...comfort and peace....oh, and forgiveness for this (I can only guess) disturbed young gunman...for God's peace, comfort, strength and forgiveness to go forth today....for our city, and our world. ~Sue~
