At the time officer elkins lost his life, I was 15 yrs old. As a kid who held police officers at a very high regard and I just felt really really bad and sorry for officer elkins. I didn't know officer elkins but I felt that whenever I could, I would literally go and put flowers down for him on his gravesite, and I finally had done it. And I will do it again because I love and respect police officers and the job they do. I offer my condolences.
