Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

i am the sister of a TPD officer and I am terrified everytime my brother goes out on the job. He knew Keith very well. Our prayers go out to the whole entire family and the TPD that they will ban together during this horrible tragedy and somehow get through this as a family.
