This afternoon, Lakewood Police Chaplain Moe Heinemann and Police Liaison Ben Inzelbuch, together with several School Resource Officers, visited the family of last night’s shooting victim to extend their condolences on behalf of the community and to offer their support during this difficult time.

“This isn’t just your tragedy, it’s the entire community’s tragedy,” said Inzelbuch.

In the coming weeks, plans are underway to organize a community event in honor of the boy’s memory.
