  1. God Bless America, praying for the superheroes, the policia, the bravehearted who bear the burden that many people won’t do.

  2. My condolences to the families. It’s beyond words the actions of these cowards that did this. Those poor ladies. It breaks my heart. God bless the families and especially to the law enforcement that must have the resources to find and hopefully deliver final justice. So sad.

  3. Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for your loss. Extending my deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences.

  4. When will the county “take precautions” to insure that all of it’s ALL of its employees of this nature i.e. works with the public about their medi-cal, food stamps, cash aid are protected from this type of threat? Most county offices that deal with these programs are not secure, “customers” are seen directly across a desk from a county asset (employee) with no protection for them from the common cold let alone an enraged person who has just had their benifits cancelled. The security provided is usually one officer strolling thru the lobby with no more than a can of pepper spray and a night stick, this does not constitute a secure environment for the customer or the employee. The events of 12/2/15 should be a wake up call to the board to improve security of all county buildings and offices. When banks and liquor stores have barriers in place (bullet resistant glass) to protect themselves against violence and the largest county in the United States does not something is backwards.

    1. Thank you for your comment and concern. The county constantly assesses and improves its safety measures, and a major assessment and plans for improvements have been underway for the past several weeks. The focus will be on improvements to buildings that will control access to employee work areas and enhance the ability of security personnel to monitor building entrances. In the meantime, the county is stepping up the presence and readiness levels of security personnel at each county facility as appropriate.

  5. We in Miami are just stunned to such a horrible crime. At the same time, I congratulate all the law officers involved in this action. They are heroes and an example for the rest of the nation. Thank you guys. We pray for the victims and the law officers.

    Thank You,
    Nelson Alba
