Deputy Sutton and I went to Montgomery Police Academy in 1987 . It's so sad that this happened to not only a Brother, but a friend. I was shot twice in the line of duty in 2018 and had to retire. My perpetrator was also killed in our exchange of gunfire. God bless you and your family and Department knowing you are not forgotten Brother
