Officer Fred Thornton-Charlotte-Mecklenbug Police
My thoughts & deepest sympathy to Officer Thornton's family & everyone at CMPD on this loss.
Officer Thornton died Friday evening at a local hospital after a flash bang detonated at his home as he was handling SWAT equipment.
Officer Thornton had just returned to his home after serving a SWAT warrant. He had 28 years & was up for retirement in June.
Please know that I pray for each of you daily. Be very careful out there & BE SAFE.
De Oppresso Liber.
Paul
