The road in front of the Concord Police Department headquarters was packed Friday evening as the community waited for the candlelight vigil to start in memory of Jason Shuping.
Children and other attendees had taken the provided chalk to write messages to the Shuping family and the police department. One message was written by a fellow University of North Carolina at Pembroke graduate, a school Officer Shuping had attended. The message read: Once a #Brave, always a #UNCP Brave.
The crowd gathered in front of the Concord Police Department headquarters Friday evening lit candles as they waited in a moment of silence.
