Slain Boulder Police Officer, a Dedicated Christian Homeschooling Father of Seven
One of the ten people killed in yesterday’s horrific mass shooting at a Colorado grocery store was not only a Boulder police officer, but also a deeply committed Christian, husband, and father of seven children whom he homeschooled with his wife. Because of the evil actions of a crazed gunman, the world has at least one more widow and seven broken-hearted, fatherless children.
Officer Eric Talley, age 51, was one of the first officers through the door of the grocery store and sustained a fatal shot from the shooter, along with nine other citizens of the small Colorado town. [ Source: Daily Citizen (Read More…) ]
