Ptlm. Bryan Scott Verkler was shot and killed on the doorstep of a home where an alleged jewelry thief was hiding. When he knocked on the door, the suspect came to the door with a gun and shot my husband one time at very close range in the chest. The bullet hit him right above his vest, on the left side of his upper chest wall. Bryan went to the back of the house and warned other officers' and collapsed in
a nearby alley. He went to surgery but he succumbed to his injury shortly after his arrival to the hospital.

He is survived by his wife, Juli.

Baby~
I can say this, I've made a lot of changes.
People continue to amaze me. The ones that you thought would be your best friends can sometimes
turn out to be your enemies. Strange how things have worked out in the end, isn't it?? It's like you
brought me out here so you could communicate with me. There was SO MUCH interference before.
Thank God that is over now. I Love You, Your Wife
