The 18-year-old- subject, believed to have been the one to shoot Officer Toney, was shot and killed on October 22nd, 2018, after being located hiding in a shed in the Snellville area.

View all 270 ReflectionsWe as Police Officers risk our lives daily, no one knows when that challenge day will come. I have encountered those days and was nearly run over or killed etc. We honor those that paid the ultimate price, as we strive to learn from our mistakes. It is sad that the standard required training for our certification is less than 25 hours per year....
