Scheduled prayer vigil for police officers killed in Dallas

Former El Paso Mayor John Cook is organizing a silent prayer vigil to honor the five police officers who were slain in Dallas last Thursday.

Former El Paso Mayor John Cook took to Facebook writing:

“I am working with NE Representative Carl Robinson and Shield A Badge. We are organizing a silent prayer vigil to honor the 5 Dallas Police Officers who were murdered last Thursday. The purpose of the vigil is to ask for God’s protection and guidance for our men and women who have sworn to protect and defend us from harm and to pray for peace in our community for all people.
This is not a political event and there will be no speeches.
God doesn’t need to hear speeches from us to know what is in our hearts. I am hoping enough people show up that we will be able to form a human prayer chain around the entire building.
The event will take place at 8PM sharp El Paso time on Thursday, July 14th at Police Headquarters, 911 Raynor. The time will coincide with the time the Dallas sniper began shooting police officers last Thursday.”

Cook’s message says the vigil is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. Thursday at police headquarters.
