Senator Braun Honors Life Of Elwood Police Officer Noah Shahnavaz on anniversary of his death in line of duty

4

WASHINGTON – Yesterday, Senator Mike Braun released the following statement honoring the life of Elwood, IN Officer Noah Shahnavaz who was killed in the line of duty one year ago today. Earlier today, the City of Elwood and Madison County announced they would name a mile of Ind. 37 to honor his memory.

“Today marks one year since Indiana lost Officer Noah Shahnavaz in the line of duty, and Indiana has lost too many heroes in the year since. Every time a police officer is injured or killed in the line of duty, it sends a shockwave through their community. Congress should pass the Thin Blue Line Act to increase penalties on those who target police, and all Americans must do what we can in our communities to restore respect for our police as an American value. I’m glad to hear the City of Elwood and Madison County will be naming a mile of Ind. 37 to honor Officer Shahnavaz’s memory.”

In May, Senator Braun welcomed Officer Shahnavaz’s family to his Washington, D.C. office to talk about their son and brother.

In February, Senator Braun gave a speech on the Senate floor about Officer Shahnavaz and other Hoosier police officers killed in the line of duty Officer Seara Burton and Detective Greg Ferency.

    Excellent article, supporting our Law Enforcement Officers, and the all-day, every-day support of those who are responsible for abiding by, and enforcing the RULE OF LAW in our communities.

    This Officer?

    He was on Iranian descent (Persian, actually, like Cyrus the Persian, from the Bible).

    In other words?
    His family were IMMIGRANTS, accepted into the US and became US Citizens.

    The anti-immigrant Trump supporters?
    (…who are, in fact, all from immigrant families themselves — Jesus, can you believe these people?)
    We need to continue to dismiss these ignorant trash Trump voters.

  2. Please leave your political views out of this story.we are honoring a hero not talking political trash.

    • No. You are wrong.

      Failing to recognize Elwood, IN Officer Noah Shahnavaz as a perfect example that immigrants can be great, honorable Police Officers is a disgrace to the honor of her service.
