“I always felt that if they’d arrived five minutes sooner…my Dad would still be here with me. Investigators treated his case like it was just one in a million. That has always been hard for me to accept. I know that the police didn’t kill my father but where were they when my father was leaving work and caught in the cross hairs of gun fire? Although I resent them for not being there I know that a stray bullet took my father’s life- because of that, I will never pick up a gun.”
