An awful tragedy close to home; one officer has died, another was injured

In a beautiful Northshore community just to the south of Abita and 2 blocks from the building I was worked in a Mandeville police officer died at the hands of an evil criminal and another officer was shot in the face.  This is horrible; tragic and so close to home.  Mandeville is such a safe place that the deceased officer is the first to fall in the line of duty since 1958.

May the  soul of the deceased officer and the soul of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace Amen.

And prayers all around for the Mandeville Police Dept. and all first responders.
