This shooting occurred on the same day an active shooter crashed a vehicle into the Ohio State University campus building and began stabbing people with a knife. Thankfully, hero Officer Alan Horujko was there to stop the terrorist.

These violent incidents are examples of the challenges that police face every day. Police proactively work to keep communities safe, but oftentimes we come under assault by violent armed criminals who aim to kill. Active shooter incidents require an immediate and rapid response by police in order to stop a threat in order to protect innocent civilians who may be caught in the middle. When citizens come under attack, you can trust that the defenders of the thin blue line will run towards the sound of gunfire.
