Statements from slain officers’ families come on eve of funeral on Monday at Rogers Place
The statements from the families of Const. Brett Ryan and Const. Travis Jordan, released through the Edmonton Police Service, came on the eve of a regimental funeral for the officers Monday at Rogers Place arena.
The Jordan family, meanwhile, says “the incredible outpouring of support” it continues to receive in Edmonton and across the country “has not gone unnoticed and is deeply appreciated.”Police say the officers were responding to a family dispute at an apartment complex March 16 when they were gunned down by a 16-year-old boy who then killed himself after injuring his mother during a struggle for the gun.
“We have had the incredible experience of witnessing the extraordinary support a city can provide a family in their most significant time of need.”“His family roots in Nova Scotia have deep ties to the province filled with friends, family and loved ones. We want to extend our thanks for their continued love and support and pay homage to them for the profound effect they had on his life,” their statement said.
