PENN HILLS OFFICER SLAIN

The HUDDLER is SAD to come back from sabbatical only to pay tribute to yet another police officer from our region who who killed in the line of duty. The HUDDLER will refrain from naming the officer until the immediate family is notified.



Once again we as a community will mourn the senseless death of a police officer who took an oath and protected us day in and day out....

Somebody killed a police officer today

and a part of America died...

A piece of our Country he swore to protect

will be buried along him by his side.

Somebody killed a Police Officer today in your town and mine.

While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors

a cop put his life on the line.

Now his ghost has the beat

on a dark city street

and he stands at each Rookie's side.

This cop answered this call

and gave all of himself

and part of America died.

And in the words of our forefathers:

May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind ever be at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the hallow of his hand.
