Thomas Weeks Jr., a Deputy U.S. Marshal killed in Charlotte last week — Kelly Weeks asked instead how she could help the U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said at a Monday memorial for the officer. “My husband’s tragedy cannot be just another death," Kelly Weeks said during the memorial. Hundreds gathered at the Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte to memorialize Weeks — who, along with three other law enforcement officers, died in a Charlotte neighborhood shootout on April 29.
“It’s just been very tough. Knowing that you have families that are hurting right now. We’ll get through it, though,” Charlotte-Mecklenburg police Chief Johnny Jennings said.
