On behalf of the 817,000 residents of Baltimore County, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Tactical Officer Jason Schneider who was shot and killed this morning while doing what our police officers do fearlessly each and every day  -- protecting our Baltimore County neighborhoods.  To the men and women of the Baltimore County Police Department, please know that we appreciate your service and know that you are in great pain having lost a brother in arms this morning.  I encourage everyone in Baltimore County to take a private moment today to remember Officer Schneider and his family.  He was one of Baltimore County's quiet heroes.
