It’s such a relief to hear she is okay.
Breitbart reported this a few days ago, and mentioned she was shot by a shotgun of all things. She’s a lucky woman to be okay!
I hear his bail was raised to over a mil. A big thumbs up for that.

I’m always grateful that anyone is willing to take on the duties of the police in this era of increasing violence and decreasing respect.

One of the leading causes of harm and death to police officers is when they are responding to a domestic violence call.
