Officer Allen Brandt Passes Along to Glory

 Sunday Update 7:3Opm MT. My heart breaks as to what America has become……..

Dewey, my mother-in-law just called and she was able to talk directly to Allen. Following is new information we have directly from Allen, as compared to second or third hand, so some details have changed: (Last revised 9:25 pm, 10/16/16) Here is an update on Allen, my policeman brother-in-law (Aaron’s brother) who was shot multiple times early this morning in Alaska. He was recently moved from a post-op room to a regular hospital room. Allen was shot at least four times: after the first shot, shrapnel hit his eye, the second shot to his chest (but stopped by his bullet-proof vest), he was subsequently shot twice in his hips and once in his calf. All of this at point blank range and it caused extensive muscular damage. To prevent further damage, the bullets were not removed. He will most likely lose vision in his left eye. When the assailant finished emptying his weapon – he struck Allen’s head with his foot before leaving the scene in the police vehicle. The assailant is still at large. Please pray for Allen’s healing, peace and strength to his family (his wife Natasha and their four young children) and that the criminal will be caught and not hurt anyone else. Their children are staying with friends and do not know yet what has happened. Thankfully, Natasha has been able to stay with Allen throughout while he was flown to the hospital in Anchorage. We are told they are doing fairly well emotionally during this time. Praise God for the peace that salvation in Christ brings!
