The shooting killed Garrett Swasey, 44, a police officer at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and a married father of two. Swasey, a championship ice dancer turned six-year-veteran officer, was one of the first officers to respond to the clinic.
Scott Dontanville, co-pastor at Hope Chapel where Swasey was a church elder, said the officer had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and "trusted him so much so" that he was willing to die to protect the public.
"He may not agree with the abortion position, but he was willing to lay down his life for other people," Dontanville said.
