And just recently we learned that an off duty Custom and Border protection officer was shot in the face in New York City during an attempted robbery by a previously deported illegal alien. Thankfully, the officer is expected to survive. According to the Fraternity Order of police, as of June 30 this year, 166 officers were shot in the line of duty. 21 of them lost their life. While these numbers are lower than from previous years, the shooting this weekend is yet another example of the threats and dangers of our men and women in blue facing every day both on and off duty.
