How can things like this happen

Tonight a man in Headland Alabama shot 2 police officers and one so far has died. The officer who died was Dexter Hammond a man i have known for many years. He taught me Taek won do many years ago. So my heart is breaking for him and his family and also for the Henry County Sheriff officer who is in surgery as we speak fighting for his life. But even through all of that the part that scares me the most is my brother Steven. Steven just started working for the Henry County Sheriffs office and was on duty tonight. He was called to the scene but he is safe. I think how easily it could have been my brother to have been killed. If he were the closest officer to the scene and arrived first he would prob be dead.

This makes me think how important it is to tell people how much you love them. Steven and i have always had a special relationship. We have an obvious but unspoken love for each other. I dont know what i would have done if he would have been one of the men to get shot tonight. When Steven joined the Henry County Sheriff department it worried me but i thought nothing bad ever happens in Henry County i guess this just shows if something like this can happen here it can happen anywhere. So keep the ones you love close and never leave mad and always tell people you love them even if you dont like them at the moment. You may never get the chance to tell them again.

Please pray for Dexter Hammond's family and for the Henry County Sheriff deputy who is fighting for his life may he stay strong and win his battle.
