Editor’s note: Three cheers for the residents of Amity Township!
Officer John Coe was looking to settle down.
After serving in Iraq with the Marine Corps and getting a Purple Heart, Coe started working as a junior officer for the Amity Township police department in 2009.
Coe, now 31, and his wife, Georgiana, had two children, a 14-month-old son and a 2-month-old daughter, and sold their house in July to look for a larger home for their family.
A few days later their world turned upside down.
