We also want to lift up all of the Lincoln Park officers and first responders who responded to that scene. May your grace, peace, mercies and comfort settle upon them and may your wounded peacemaker and every other officer and first responder be drawn to You where they can experience Your abundant peace. May Your grace touch the many other officers with the Lincoln Park Police Department as we know incidents like these can also affect their co-workers as well. May You grant the investigators wisdom to gather the facts surrounding this incident. And for any officer directly involved in this incident who may have been deeply affected emotionally, may they intimately know they can always cast theirs cares upon you for we know You care for them. May you prevent them from experiencing any short-term or long-term emotional trauma. May Your grace touch the hearts and minds of the families of these law enforcement officer who were involved in this dangerous incident and may Your love reign supreme.
