I did not know Officer Herriage personally. His wife & I worked together at an insurance company in Shreveport. I remember that awful day just like it was yesterday. I have many friends who are in law enforcement, & I have the deepest respect for all of them. God bless Officer Herriage’s precious wife & children.
