The wife of a fallen officer offers support to the fiancée

"I just wish I could shield all officers and their families from something like this happening," Cindy Elmstrand-Castruita said.

The community support for a fallen hero is in full bloom, including from someone who knows exactly what his family is going through because just a few months ago, it was her husband's squad covered in flowers. The widower says all the messages of love and solidarity gave her strength. She hopes Jamal Mitchell's fiancée finds strength in them too.
