“As police officers, we have to hold ourselves to a higher standard. It’s more than that. When someone wants to open fire, we must be citizens on patrol to maintain good standing and safety,” Newark Police Chief Marell Hankston.

Another mass shooting happened in Delaware. The police arrived at the scene in minutes to get a handle on thr situation. Four people died and six others received serious injuries.

Hankston “Our police force is ready to stop any gunman who chooses to go against reason,” he reassured. He looked up and saw a news reporter rise. “No more questions. Thanks.”
