"My mind was blown when I saw everything that I got," 8-year-old Ashlyn Johnston said. Ashlyn and her twin brother were two of the kids shopping with a Maumee police officer at their side for the annual "Shop with a Hero" event. She navigated the aisles, searching for Barbies, craft supplies and a toy for their cat; even Ashlyn's shopping pal, Officer Hoover, has a favorite part.
