Hopefully the truth of the situation will soon come out and discredit the children who posed a deadly threat to this heroic officer. With snowballs.

“I’m sure that if I release it (the recording), there are people in the neighborhood who will identify the (caller),” Murphy said. “We depend on the public to give us information. If you violate that (trust), then what do you tell people? We know what happened, I know what happened and that’s it.”
