First time I researched this tragic event. Seeing Officer Fossum’s photo was astounding. I was a police officer and worked with the son, John Fossum. John was an amazing officer, and his father was proud as he saw his son from heaven. Robert and John have such an incredible similarity in their appearance., crazy

I went to school at Holy Rosary with Officer Fossum son. The Fossums were in the process of moving to the suburbs when this horrible event occurred. We met some days later and spoke about his father while on the swing. This wanton evil actions should never have occurred .

Each day I try to read the ODMP. Today I read your story. Any officer who dies in the line of duty will always be remembered for his sacrifice. You died a hero. Rest in peace Officer Fossum.
