Señor / señora Presidente.

Me levanto hoy con una gran tristeza para reconocer al detective caído de la policía de Doraville corporal Robert "Shane" Wilson, un ciudadano de gran distinción en mi distrito.

Respondiendo a la invasión de una casa el día 14 de noviembre, se vio involucrado en un trágico choque de frente con un conductor ebrio.

Veterano de ocho años, el oficial Wilson tan sólo tenía 27 años de edad.

Como miembro del equipo SWAT, sirvió a su comunidad con valentía y honor. Él era muy querido y respetado por sus compañeros.
