A Stamford, Connecticut police officer fatally struck a pastor with his patrol cruiser while the pastor was stopping at his mailbox, authorities say.
A pastor in Connecticut who had just stopped at his mailbox was fatally struck by a Stamford officer’s patrol cruiser Wednesday, devastating the city and police department where he served as an advisor and his wife is a commissioner, authorities said.
Stamford police said in a statement Thursday that Lockwood performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Jackson until medical personnel arrived. Jackson died at Stamford Hospital. "His steadfast commitment to serve those under the guidance of his pastorate, extended far and wide," Redd said."The void that has been left by his untimely passing will be difficult to fill; only the passage of time will bring comfort and healing. I ask that we all keep both the family of Pastor Jackson, his church family, Officer Lockwood, and his family in our thoughts and prayers during these most difficult times.
