Independence, MO Police Officer killed in hunting accident.

Prayers to the family of Officer James Lockard.  He was killed while deer hunting north of St. Joseph, MO. on Sunday afternoon when high winds toppled a tree onto him.  He had just shot a deer and was headed to it when the accident occurred.  My son is a member of the KCPD SWAT Team and had trained with Officer Lockard.  Talk about a freak accident; winds up here were gusting up to 40+ mph for both Saturday and Sunday.
