For many on this board this hits a lot closer to home. This state is grieving terrible with two deputies lost in the metro area in less than a month.

WTF? Sad, very sad.

A terrible, terrible loss.

RIP, Deputy Gumm. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Our society and its historical values are crumbling. So sad to see another officer fall in the line of duty. Prayers go out to the deputy's family.
