Our prayers are with MPD, the victims, their families, and all of the first responders and frontline medical personnel who answered the call today.
As they always do, they selflessly ran toward the danger to protect and save others. While most people are trying to get away from the unimaginable, our police officers, firefighters, paramedics, dispatchers, nurses, doctors, and other frontline professionals step directly into it.
Today, they witnessed and experienced things that no person should have to see. They made split-second decisions, provided lifesaving care, comforted people during terrifying moments, and leaned on their training and one another to get through an incredibly difficult day.
Tonight and in the days ahead, we ask everyone to keep them in your prayers.
And to those who answered the call today: please remember that you don't have to carry what you experienced alone.
Invisible Wounds Project is here for you.
Maybe you need to talk. Maybe you don't want to talk at all. Maybe you just need a cup of coffee, a place to sit, or to spend some time around people who understand what it means to have a difficult day on the job.
Our doors are open.
There is strength in reaching out, strength in being there for one another, and hope in knowing that even after the darkest days, healing is possible.
Take care of yourselves. Check on your partners, coworkers, dispatchers, hospital staff, and everyone else who stood beside you today. And know that there is an entire community standing behind you, too.
To everyone who answered the call today: thank you.
Whether you were involved or not, we know that critical incidents like this can trigger many emotions. Please do not be afraid to reach out. We're here when you need us. ๐
