Today, hundreds gathered at Fountain Square in Cincinnati to honor over 100 officers who died in the line of duty, including Hamilton County Deputy Larry Henderson whose family laid a wreath near his memorial stone.

Supporters then marched to a police memorial in the West End while Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval and Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey spoke—emphasizing the ongoing sacrifice of local law enforcement.

A Cincinnati man, 41-year-old Michael Chandler, is accused of shooting a man at a gas station while a child was with him in his car—he faces felonious assault, endangering children and weapons charges in Hamilton County and is held on a $50,000 bond.

Two new granite monuments have been added at Fairfield Twp.'s Veterans Memorial in Heroes Park and will be unveiled Friday at 5:30 p.m. at 6032 Morris Road.

One monument is etched with an eagle and American flag—while the other shows a battle scene with space for sponsor plaques—to honor local service members.

Health officials are warning travelers planning summer trips to get vaccinated after more than 1,000 measles cases have been reported nationwide—Ohio has 38 confirmed cases, mostly in Ashtabula and Knox Counties.
