    As the wife of a sheriff, I know today is the nightmare any family of a law enforcement officer fears & the call one prays they never have to pick up. Law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every day & I want to thank the first responders who were at the scene.

    My heart aches for the McHenry County Sheriff’s deputy who was shot and killed this morning – and I join the community of Rockford and all Americans to pray for him and his family.

    Jake Keltner, the McHenry County sheriff's deputy who was shot in Rockford, has died. He was with the department for nearly 13 years.
