Unfortunate Loss

I was going to link to the story, but RNews doesn't seem to have permanent links, so my link undoubtedly would have been routed elsewhere eventually.

Last night a State Trooper, Andrew Sperr, was shot and killed in the line of duty after a bank robbery. He was an Aquinas graduate like myself, and a ten year veteran of the force.

For those of you who believe in the power of doing so, I would ask for your prayers for his family and friends. A man who will put his life on the line for the rest of us is definitely deserving of respect in my books.

A tragic end to a promising life, or something close to it.
