“We're all coming out today just to show our respect to him. When one goes down we all go down a little bit. So we all like to show the family support, show our departments support. It's nice to see other departments coming in as well, and showing their respect and support for the trooper,” said Trooper Cindy Schick, Pennsylvania State Police.
The 29-year-old was killed Saturday, June 17, when a gunman shot through the windshield of his patrol car in Juniata County.
