because of this. what happened today is unbelievable. i didn't think it was going to be him when i turned on the news. i figured it would be him apprehending the suspect, not the other way around. when i heard it, i was devastated. my school was in a lockdown. i immediately burst into tears. i couldn't believe what i was being told. it was heartbreaking for me, my explorers, the community, everyone. >> he had been on the force for a long time. did you get the sense that he loved being a police officer? >> oh, absolutely. he loved it. he truly loved it. going up through the ranks, he loved it. he really did. he loved his job, loved what he did. the people loved him. he's very well known throughout the community. what he did for the police department, the community, words cannot describe how much he loved that job. >> devan, sounds like you're going to make a great police officer. and i appreciate you coming on and talking about your friend
