An organization meant to assist local law enforcement families is stepping up to help the family of an El Paso County Sheriff's deputy who lost his life in the line of duty.
For those who would like to help, donations can be made to Deputy Peery's family through Chase Bank under the Hugh Martin Fallen Officers Fund with Andrew Peery in the memo line.
"The 'why' has to be asked," she said. "It has to have room to be asked, have the freedom to fight for it, to wrestle with it, to scream at it, and at the end of the day then you have to let it go."
Less than 24 hours after El Paso County Sheriff's Deputy Andrew Peery was killed in the line of duty, one local nonprofit is stepping in to provide financial assistance to his family.
