They are indeed heroes!
May 13, 2005
Following is a letter our Chief of Police received after the Wal-Mart incident. This type of acknowledgement is a testament to all the men and women who serve and protect the public.
Dear Chief Rhodes, I want to express my sincere thanks to the CHPD for their actions yesterday in the Wal-mart situation. My children, ages 15 and 19, were in the store when the incident took place. My daughter was very near the front of the store where the shooting occurred and was naturally very scared and upset by the ordeal. I was on the cell phone with her immediately after the shooting and as a mother was quite shaken and concerned. I went immediately to the store and my children were able to leave through a side door very soon after the shooting. Today, now that this is somewhat behind us, I am so grateful that officer took the very necessary action to protect my children and all of the other innocent bystanders who were at the store. I know that the situation could have quickly turned much worse and that God gave the officer involved the strength needed to take the course of action required. I thank God for his protection of my children, and all of the other people nearby. Also, I trust that God will give a sense of peace to the officer(s) involved, and to all who experienced this most dreadful day in Cedar Hill. When it is appropriate, please share my expressions of gratitude and thanks to the officers involved. They are indeed heroes! Cheryl McKnight, Cedar HIll ISD Instructional Technology Specialist
