The family of the Milwaukee police officer gunned down in the line of duty says he loved Milwaukee and wanted to make a difference as a police officer.
Peter Jerving’s family spoke yesterday for the first time since he was killed while trying to arrest a robbery suspect on Tuesday. His mom, Patty, said Jerving just wanted to be the best police officer he could be. Jerving is the first Milwaukee police officer to be killed in the line of duty since 2019. He will be laid to rest on Monday.
