Breaking the news is not what is important-St.Bernards Church incident

My new year didn't start well. I am a person first and in this case breaking news is irrelevant. In fact I am not going to report on this except to put some information out for the community that is not being reported and to help get the word out for Chief Mills.
In this instance, I am not a reporter, its personal. This is a private issue.
What I will say is that Chief Mills wants to assure the parishners  that he will expend all resources and investigate the incident throroughly. If people want to come pray and that makes them feel better, Chief Mills said that they need to stay away from the area cordoned off and stay across the street and understand that the police cannot comment or allow people near the area of investigation.

Chief Mills also asked people do not speculate and add to the rumors. If you saw the news you saw familiar faces. I hope people will have the decency to respect others privacy.

    So sorry for this loss. I met Father Eric on several occasions, and was a vibrant peaceful and joyous person. The community has lost some one great. I am glad that you found strength in your community and you got to pray for his soul.

    So sorry for your loss. I had the opportunity to meet Father Eric on several occasions, and found him a warm, joyous and inspiring man. What a horrible loss for the community. I am glad you found comfort with others and were able to pray at the scene today.
