How Sad
On Saturdy, April 4, 2009, three City of Pittsburgh police officers died while responding to a domestic. There is blame all around. Blame to the young man who shot the officers, blame to the mother who called the police, blame to the dispatcher who failed to tell the police that there were weapons in the home. When this kind of tradgedy happens, everyone wants to find someone to blame. Does the blame help us feel less guilty? The bottem line is, three men died. They had families. They had children. They were doing their job as best they could. Can we put aside the blame and just mourn the loss...the loss of the officers, the loss of a husband, of a son, of a father.

I agree mia, what a tragic loss for everyone.
It was an awful morning here in Pittsburgh. My thoughts are with their families. One of the injured policemen are going to be on Good Morning America.
Very, very sad. I pulled up Pittsburgh news and read about it. My prayers to all involved.
Can't seem to stop my flow of tears.
My condolences to all involved
I just heard about this. Tragic. Senseless.
It is on Good Morning America. McManaway was a hero. Very, very sad. My prayers are with all involved.
Oh, my gosh! I just went to GMA's web site. How awful.
I will keep them all in my prayers. It is an awful situation for all.
Here is the story that was on Good Morning America. They were heroes.

Yes, it probably the worst tragedy that we have seen in a while. Our prayers are with all involved.
It is so easy to place blame but it really does no good. This young man needed help a long time ago and everyone that knew him missed that boat.
Sensless and sad. Good post, Mia. Condolences to the families.
We have had similar situations here, Mia. Doesn't make it any less tragic.
Just drove past the county court house on my way home tonight. Didn't have to pass it, but I had to. Many people lined up. After I drove by I thought I should have stopped. I did see a group of officers when I stopped at a traffic light. And I did roll down my window and say thank you. Hardly seems like enough.
All of the adjectives have been used. It is so very sad.
I lit my candles for the officers and am sending out good thoughts to the families. So tough.
