Tragedy In Manchester

Two female police officers were gunned down in Manchester, England today after they responded to a report of a break-in, the suspect emerged from the house fired ten shots at them and then threw a grenade at them. Both officers Fiona Bone, 32 and Nicola Hughes, 23 were unarmed.

This is headline news in the United Kingdom and is being described as the worst atrocity against the police over there in fifty years. Suddenly, Kate Middleton's breasts don't seem that important at all.

I'm not going to get into a debate about guns but it strikes me that if we rely on police officers to put their lives on the line to protect other people, they need to have the proper tools to protect themselves.

My thoughts and prayers to the colleagues, friends and family.
