“When I hear of the stories where they’re shooting at, trying to kill law enforcement officers, whether they’re federal officers or local officers, I smile with a sense of pride,” said Sheriff Simmons. “Not because they try to shoot and kill one of our officers, but because they weren’t successful.”
