In all of this news going on, I'd never heard of the officer's name.

This really brings it front and center how these brave men and women put themselves in harms way every single day to protect us all. Firefighters too. Amazing.

They were also insisting that the two terrorists had totally different names--and they said that the younger terrorist was that missing Indian kid from Brown. So much for "Reddit" and a few other half-assed, make-shit-up outlets!
This officer is from Somerville. He didn't have a chance--they murdered him in cold blood.
