My husband graduated with Trooper Price. I too worry about my husband every single day he is on the job. When I heard this story, you better believe I told him that if he ever feels his life is in danger he should defend himself at all costs. These men are out there putting their lives on the line every single day, yet they do not get half the respect they deserve. I am praying for all parties involved in the situation and their families.

Thanks to everyone for all the support that we have received.All the wrong choices were made that night.Honestly..It was kind of a lose lose situation.My husband did make a wrong move. So did the trooper. Trooper Price really is a good man. So there are no reasons to point fingers at either of them.Im sure the trooper is dealing with it..and never meant to hurt stephen the way he did,so Im praying for both of them. They both need it.So instead of pointing fingers at this person was wrong or this person...try to see it from both sides. What if stephen were your child. or your spouse. Would you be so quick to point a finger then? Peace be with you all.
