INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Friday marks one year since Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Officer Breann Leath was killed in the line of duty.
Leath was shot while responding to a domestic disturbance call at an east-side apartment complex.
Jennifer Leath, Breann’s mom, said Wednesday that life is something her family never took for granted, and, because of their strong police background, they had an important rule. “I love you is the last thing we say to each other,” Jennifer Leath said.
She can only remember parts of April 9, 2020, the day her daughter was killed. She recalls feeling off before she had even known what happened.
