From a fellow first responder, I wish to extend my condolences, love, and prayers to all three families that were affected by this incident. I pray that God will give Officer Lurato and his family the strength in recovering from the mental trauma that Officer Lurato has likely endured. Every shift could be your last. Praying for all of you affected.
