From a retired Police Officer in Sydney to the McCoy Family belated best wishes. A horrible incident resolved through the sacrifice and bravery of Houston McCoy and the other brave officers on the scene. Condolences also to the families of the victims of the sniper even though it was now such a long time ago.

Thank you. RIP

I watched a show called crime to remember tonight and I remember seeing footage of that day when I was a child. I want to say to Mr. Houston McCoy and his family that even though you do not want your name associated with that day, you were able to prevent a larger scale massacre on that day.
