We Remember: Officers Down

89.3 WRKF Baton Rouge | By Sue Lincoln
Published July 17, 2017 at 4:00 AM EDT

One year ago today, the peace of a sunny Baton Rouge Sunday was shattered and darkened by the deaths of three law enforcement officers, and the wounding of three others. Today, we remember the heroism of EBR Deputy Brad Garafola, Officer Matthew Gerald, and Corporal Montrell Jackson.

(And please keep Deputy Nick Tullier in mind, as he continues to heal from the injuries he received that day.)
