Thank you First Responders!

The Tri-cities was shook to the core on Monday after the shooting at Fred Meyer in Richland. Many folks posting on Facebook, scared to send their children to their sporting events, nervous to go to their job and afraid to walk into the grocery store for groceries.

It brings me much relief to have seen the response from our local first responders and every imaginable agency within 100 miles. Richland Police Department posted on their Facebook page thanking everyone involved in apprehending the shooter from Mondays tragedy and my jaw dropped in awe! Post from RPD:
