In Memory of Timothy Brenton (Seattle Police Officer)

Seattle Police Officer Timothy Brenton was murdered in his parked patrol car on Halloween night. Officer Brenton was a field training officer and had rookie Britt Sweeney riding with him. Sweeney ducked during the initial hail of bullets, called for back-up and returned fire. Sweeney was wounded in her back and is recovering. She acted with great bravery and let her training take over.
Officer Brenton (39 years old) leaves behind his wife and two children ages 8 and 11. Brenton’s father and uncle are retired Seattle Police Officers.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Brenton family and want to thank all his fellow officers that participated in this mornings sobering funeral precession.
