The police officer was not harmed, however the actor was shot but was able to get away in a silver vehicle.
Nate, I just wanted to say how proud I am of the great job done by the bureau and you, the chief, this week. They were good men and deserved the best and they got that. I still pray everyday for all of you. I’m proud to tell everyone…chief Harper and I are classmates…good luck and if I can ever help please give me a call.
Your friend….Dave Trautman
