MILFORD, Del. – A boy all the way from Tennessee is choosing to help and honor a Milford Police officer who was injured in the line of duty last year.
Back on December 10th, Senior Corporal TJ Webb was shot a total of six times in the line of duty. An organization called Running 4 Heroes, started by a 12-year-old boy in Tennessee, raises funds for injured First Responders while also paying tribute to Fallen Heroes through running. Zechariah heard about Webb and his injuries and is presenting him with a check of $10,000 as part of their Injured First Responder Grant.
