Hey all

As I type this I'm still shaken.

A PA State Trooper from our county's station was killed yesterday. We are a rural county and a close knit law enforcement community. We all know each other, our wives, our children, by first name. We work together and play together. My dept.'s officers were the first to respond as the shooting happened just miles from our city. The suspect killed his wife, Trooper Paul Richey, then himself.

Trooper Richey leaves behind a wife, son, and daughter.

Please say a prayer for the family.

RIP brother Richey.

Very sorry for your loss, and ours.   My family will keep his wife and children in our prayers.

god bless the police

********** the criminals

i come from a close knit police county to

Read about it on Fox last nite.  I have many friends in law enforcement, most from local small towns and villages.  I used to wonder why so many of them would vest up in our little retirement towns, but haven't for many years.  Tragic  stories like this are a testament to how things can go bad for these people in a split second.

Sorry to hear of your community loss.

RIP Paul Richey

Prayers to his family.

My daily prayers include our men & women in uniform; military, law enforcement, & Fire/Rescue

I know how little the words of an outsider mean

to you just now, but I must tell you how deeply

I sympathize with you and the officer's family.

Sorry to hear man.

I was with my buddy last night when he received an email about the situation (he works for the DOH-Emergency Preparedness in Harrisburg).

Very sad to hear.  Domestics are always a crappy situation.

Take care man.

thoughts and prayers are with you all.....

RIP to those lost in this tragedy

Prayers sent for the officers family.

I just got home from a relatively good day on the job but now I'm numb and teared up. I've been on the job 22 yrs and have seen several of my co-workers go in the line of duty. The loss of a brother officer in the line of duty hits hard, even if we've never met. I will keep Trooper Richey and his family in my prayers. Please give me an address where I send donations for the family.

What a tragedy. Thanks to all, and their families, who are willing to serve for the benefit of the rest of us. We keep them all in our prayers.

I will pray for all involved in this tragedy. My thanks and prayers are also with all who serve. What you do makes a difference. Never lose sight of that.

We've had 6 officers killed in the line of duty in the last 2 months in my neck of the woods.  All were murdered.

It is indeed, a very sad time in law enforcement.

Are you referring to the coffee shop murders?  That was a horrific incident. It was an execution.

That is awful.

I guess I still subscribe to the Korean way of fighting that I learned in Viet Nam: No Prisoners.

T&P to the family.
