YORK, S.C. -- Dozens of people gathered Tuesday night to pray for the four York County officers who were shot while responding to a domestic call Monday.
“A faith that’s not tested is not much of a faith at all,” the pastor of Bible Covenant Community Church said. “I would just encourage everybody out there to be praying. Prayer works.”
Three of the four officers were in recovery Tuesday. One, Detective Mike Doty, is fighting for his life.
“Just shocked, shocked something like this could happen,” another local pastor, Ray Jones, said. “Just disbelief, that that kind of evil can exist. The fact is evil touches every aspect of every community no one's immune to it.”
A choir of prayer across the community; that when this darkest hour passes there will be healing, justice, and light.
