Condemning Violence

By Todd Turner

The Prince George’s County Council condemns Sunday evening’s attack on three County officers who were shot while responding to a call for service.  The Council is relieved to learn that the officers are expected to survive their injuries, and we offer well-wishes for a speedy recovery, particularly for the officer who required surgery. Every day our police officers risk their lives to keep our residents and communities safe.  The Council appreciates the actions of these officers, protected by their bullet-resistant vests.  We are pleased to know that suspects are in custody and will continue to follow the police investigation.
